The Maclay Parent Organization (MPO) has made their mark at Maclay School through the years, enriching the culture with a variety of talents and skills that keeps families engaged. When faced with a year of limited in-person and on-campus access, MPO stepped up to the challenges with creativity and unmatched dedication to support our faculty and staff from afar, volunteering virtually to help teachers, making special deliveries to new families, and offering enthusiastic support and encouragement. As a token of appreciation for the outstanding work done by our teachers each day, MPO organized a Family Photo Day this fall, with Maclay parent photographers Langley Clark and Jennifer Powell, to help faculty check an item off of their to-do lists and take holiday photos with their families. We love seeing the smiling faces of our outstanding faculty, and are so grateful for the parent partnerships that make the Maclay community shine.

MPO is fundamental to what makes our school and community so great. Each parent’s involvement does not go unnoticed and we believe it’s truly what sets us apart. Every idea, service hour, helping hand is what makes the Maclay experience special and this year we need your support more than ever. Even though at times, we may be physically distanced or unable to connect in the traditional ways we have become accustomed to, MPO warmly welcomes all new ideas and anyone that would like to be involved to make this school year as best as it can be for everyone!

After years of visioning, planning, gathering input, and remarkable generosity from our school community, the Beck Family Innovation Center’s doors opened for student use earlier this fall. This state-of-the-art facility is the culmination of the dream of many and provides new and innovative spaces for Maclay’s students and faculty to learn, collaborate, and nurture their interests and passions. The 21,000 square foot facility is the largest capital improvement to Maclay’s campus in recent years and was a process that was led by members of our Maclay community from start to finish. As the Beck Family Innovation Center opened, we are so proud that it was designed, built, and supported by our community, from the initial conceptual sketches for the spaces, to the landscape design and signage that welcomes students as they enter the facility and the spaces inside.
