Play On!
The chill in the air didn't deter our youngest learners from donning their winter gear and getting outside for some much-desired tire swing time. To see more photos and other highlights from the week at MPH, click the link below.

Hello? Is it me you're looking for? |
Thank you to Nurse Dara for sorting the ever-growing Lost and Found. All labeled items have been returned. Please come, and ask your students, to peruse the remaining items. They’re located in the cubbies and rack in the Attendance Hallway, for anything that’s missing or looks familiar. Unclaimed items will be donated on Monday, December 18.
Please be sure to label coats, snowpants, boots, hats, and gloves so they don’t’ show up on the racks in the Spring.
Thank you,
Nurse Christine

Upper School Student Council would like to invite members of the MPH community to take part in Festive Fridays in December.
On Fridays, we’re hoping people will join us in celebrating the season by wearing festive gear (including hats but not pajamas). Examples might be a great ugly sweater, some elf ears, snowflake earrings, you name it! So, deck the halls and don the apparel each Friday this month.
