Breakfast Club

The idea for the Morning Nourishment Program was conceived when several MPCS parents became aware that there are students arriving at school having had little or nothing to eat. It was decided that interested parents would donate the supplies necessary (parent council also now has a budget for this), as well as their time, to create an opportunity for those who so greatly need it to receive a warm, nourishing meal before class each day.

If you enjoy growing things, this is the place for you! We have a campus greenhouse, and we have a plant sale fundraiser in the spring.
