MANE Things
Dear MCA Parents,
 
One of the greatest strengths of Maranatha Christian Academy is the community that surrounds and supports our mission. As we look ahead to the coming weeks, I’m excited to invite you into two meaningful opportunities to engage and celebrate together.
 
First, Maple Grove Magazine’s annual "Best of" voting opens on Sunday, February 1. Thanks to your support, MCA was honored last year as "Best Private School," "Best Preschool Program," and "Best Summer Camp." We would be grateful for your continued partnership as you take a few moments to vote during the month of February while also supporting fellow MCA family businesses along the way.
 
Second, I look forward to you joining us for our Annual Vision Meeting/State of the School Address on Monday, February 9. This meeting will be held virtually and is an important opportunity to reflect on where God has brought us, share where we're headed, and align together around the mission of Maranatha.
 
Thank you for being an engaged and committed part of this incredible community.

 

Blessings,
Deb Larson-Jarpe, Head of School
