REMINDER: Check for Ticks

It's that time of year and want to remind our community to be vigilant for ticks. Our health office recommends purchasing a tick spoon for swift tick removal should you spot one on yourself, your student, or pet (see photo of cute puppy Rus - a big fan of the spoon).

Younger students may also find this crossword puzzle useful for identifying ticks and what to do if you see one.

Please reach out to Nurse Christine Civello with any questions you may have.

A strong Annual Fund is a hallmark of a thriving independent school. Simply put, MPH is possible because of the philanthropic participation of all its members – trustees, alumni, past parents, grandparents, faculty/staff, and current parents and students. While tuition is the main revenue source for the school, it only covers a portion of the school’s yearly operating costs. Through the Annual Fund, you can make an unrestricted gift, to be used where it is needed most, or restrict your gift to a program that is important to you, such as tuition assistance, faculty compensation, arts, or athletics. Join us with a gift today!
 
 
Matt/Lott Family Giving Challenge

If you would like to help us secure these challenge funds (and surpass our Annual Fund goal!), make a gift today! Click here to read our “Meet MPH’ feature on the Matt/Lott family and their connection to MPH.
