PTSO Priority Fund Update...
The Park: Make It Your Own by investing today!
Every single contribution impacts the school!
Here are some thoughts from one of our science teachers sharing how YOUR support impacts our students...
Su
pport from the PTSO has given u
s
access to
in
te
ra
ctive technology as well as
suppli
es and resources that let students bring physics to life! Without their support, we would be selling our students short. This year, we were able to buy SD cards to put our new interactive physics textbook on Chromebooks for every student. The PTSO has always responded to our needs for equipment and resources that make physics relevant to our students' lives! Thank you for continuing to support our program, for the staff appreciation days, and also for touring the new building when it opened to see what improvements would make it feel more like home.
- Arthur Baum, Physics Teacher
THANK YOU to all who have given since our last acknowledgement...
Kristan Magas, Richard & Susan Minges, Sarah & Malcom Prochaska, Mark & Victoria Stack

Have you noticed the shed being constructed next to Circle?
There have been lots of questions and interest about the small shed that is under construction on the circle. This shed is being built by MPHS Habitat Club with the help of Arcadia Builders. Every Habitat home requires a shed. Our shed will be delivered in a few weeks to a Habitat home and will serve as a tool shed for the first time homeowner.
Our Habitat Club hopes to build another in the Spring. Next year they are planning on doing even more! It is service learning with the opportunity for our kids to gain construction, design, finance, marketing and numerous other life skills. If you have additional questions or want to offer help, please contact club advisors Peets Guice or David Dunn.
