Winter Camp Interest Survey
We are gauging parent interest in offering a "Winter Camp" this year. If offered, the Camp would be from December 26 - December 29th and from January 2 - January 5. The hours and price for the camp would be similar to our Summer Camp program: 9:00a-1:00p for 'camp', with before / after care hours of 7:30a - 9:00a and 1:00p - 5:30p. If offered, Winter Camp would be led by a combination of our Preschool and K-8 Before/Aftercare Staff.
Please complete this form asap so that we can determine if Winter Camp will be provided this year.

Board of Directors Election Cycle
The Board of Directors defines the mission of the school and clarifies its philosophy. In conjunction with the School Administrator, the Board establishes the financial, educational, and operational goals of MMCA and ensures that they are achieved annually. The Board may be involved in facility planning, review and approval of legal documents, annual operating budgets, and staffing decisions. The Board of Directors also serve as ambassadors for the school, promoting its successes and building its positive reputation in the community.
Elections
Board elections are conducted in November/December of each school year. If you are interested in becoming a candidate, please check out our Candidate Information Packet. Applications will be accepted November 1st thru December 1, 2023.
