MMA PARENTS ASSOCIATION THANK YOU!
We are grateful to the 2020-2021 Parents Association and all the members who actively support our mission at Merion Mercy Academy each and every day. This group of committed parents synergizes the gifts of time, talent, and service that are so abundant at MMA. Even in this very unusual year, the MMA Parents Association provided events, fundraisers, activities, and all manners of support to expand the opportunities that define the MMA experience. We are profoundly grateful to all of our parents who give so selflessly to our School.
