Safety first: an MKA student participates in and learns from science lab

Dear Alumni,

What an exciting start to the 2022-2023 school year it has been. I have had the pleasure of attending many alumni events this fall such as the Golf Classic, Homecoming, Friendsgiving, and ReSCHOOLED, and it has been awesome to see so many of you. The feeling of community, which truly makes MKA such a special place, has never been stronger.

I want to thank all of you who have participated in a variety of engagement and philanthropic initiatives at the school:

• MKA Day 2022 was a huge success, and it was inspiring to see how many alumni came together to give back to our alma mater raising critical funds in support of financial aid and helping to give the gift of a life-changing education to students.

• We have had more alumni come back to the school this year than ever before. Many of you have come back to speak to the students in their classes and clubs, volunteered for panel discussions, and more. These are such amazing opportunities for the students, and they so appreciate seeing you!

• THANK YOU to everyone who has graciously agreed to provide students with an internship, shadowing, or mentorship opportunity. The Alumni Office has connected more students this year than ever before to you for their May Term projects, and the program will continue to grow. If you are interested in providing an internship to a senior student in the month of May, or can spare some time to be a mentor to younger alumni as they navigate their careers, please let us know!

It is an honor to be at the helm of the MKA Alumni Association as the school continues to evolve, while staying true to its mission. We are always looking to expand the Alumni Council, and now, due to virtual meetings, we are able to include those that live anywhere in the world. If you are interested in learning more, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Please know, my “door” is always open; I’d love to hear from you and hope to see many of you at MKA events in the future.

All my best,
