Inspired by the many firsts at MSA this year, today we are excited to share our first-ever digital annual report. Please enjoy and peruse the pages at your leisure (and share with friends and family). Thank you for your continued support of our exceptional program, teachers and staff as well our talented and creative students. We cannot thank you enough for all the ways you show up!
MSAF BOARD ALUMS + ADDITIONS
We would like to acknowledge and thank the following MSAF Board members who are graduating this year: Diane DiRoma, Teri Koreen (co-President), Lyn Merola, Lisa Pryor and Mel Rotner-Dixon. Thank you for the countless hours of time and energy you spent toward making MSA such a special community and wonderful educational experience for our students. We will miss you very much.
We are also bidding farewell to Joanne Covert and Erica Smigielski, who are moving off the MSAF Board and into more active roles with various booster groups on campus. We look forward to working with them in their new capacities!
The MSA Foundation is thrilled to welcome incoming parent Chris Owen to the Board for the 2024-25 school year.

WAYS TO SUPPORT MSA OVER THE SUMMER
Get a head start on the school year: contribute to our annual giving campaign and order your MSA merch in time for pick-up at the first Town Hall (Tuesday, August 20).
And don’t forget to take your seat during our Seat Campaign—a great way to honor a student or alumni! This summer is also the PERFECT time to get your camping and sports gear AND support MSA by becoming a Basementeer at Sports Basement.
MSA relies on grants, too! Our biggest successes have come from personal introductions by MSA families. Do you know someone who works at a family foundation or other institution that funds art education programs? Please let us know!
