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.
