What a pleasure it was to attend the HSA's Party with a Purpose on March 25th! The event, held at The Links in Gettysburg, was a great gathering of alumni, parents, faculty, grandparents and other supporters of MSS. I was happy to have the opportunity to see and visit with so many familiar faces and to meet new people as well. It was a very lively group and clearly everyone enjoyed themselves as we gathered to support MSS. Thanks to all who made such a wonderful evening possible!
Enjoy reading about all of the exciting MSS alumni news below and we hope to see you at one of the events coming up soon!
I wish you all a joyful and blessed Easter!

Anna Eyler '13
And speaking of Girl Scouts,
Anna Eyler (MSS Class of 2013) has earned her Gold Award. This prestigious award is the highest
honor a Girl Scout can achieve. For her Gold Project, Anna
coordinated the building of hop trellises at St. John's Catholic Prep (SJCP.) These 12-foot
trellises will support a hops crop that will be cultivated and
harvested by the SJCP Environmental Stewardship Class, and then donated after harvesting to SJCP neighbor and collaborator, Flying Dog Brewery, to be used in a specially brewed ale.
Anna was also presented with the President's Volunteer Service Award by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), a federal agency working with local partners to tap into the ingenuity and can-do spirit of Americans to tackle some of the pressing challenges our country faces. The President's Volunteer Service Award honors and thanks those volunteers who demonstrate a commitment to service, by volunteering more than 100 hours in a year, and inspiring others to volunteer.
