Happy belated Valentine's Day!

MMWA celebrated Valentine's Day with plenty of candy and by sprucing up for a special dinner. Thanks to our dorm parents, the boarding students got to celebrate in style:

Hurray for pink plates and pretty flowers at MMWA!

Snow Day!

We finally had a snow day here at the Academy! Classes were canceled on Wednesday, February 2 and students enjoyed a full day in the 18+ inches of powder. Here are a few shots of the beautiful bluebird day after the storm.

Dorm Parent Mary Steward has her work cut out for her. She finally cleaned off her car so she could go skiing at Trapp's!


Chalet 3: Home to a few Math, English, and Spanish classes. The lower level is the tuning room.
