This year, to show your school spirit, we're encouraging donors to give to what you love. Make your gift to support what's special to you, from our students and faculty to our incredible arts, athletics, and academic programs.

Giving Day is all about participation. This is your opportunity to make a difference with a gift of any size. Together, we make great things happen at MPH. Please help support the MPH Annual Fund and meet our goal of 150 donors in 24 hours. #MPHGivingDay

Curriculum Moment: Celebrating Earth Day

MPH actively participates in Earth Day as part of our commitment to fostering environmental awareness and stewardship among students. This engagement is evident from the early years, with PreK students learning about Earth Day through hands-on activities that promote curiosity and respect for the planet. By integrating Earth Day celebrations and environmental initiatives into its curriculum and community activities, MPH instills a sense of responsibility and appreciation for the environment in our students, preparing them to be conscientious global citizens.

Gala

Thank you to our guests and community for supporting a very successful MPH Spring Gala at Palladian Hall on Friday, April 25! It was wonderful to see so many members of our community fill the event space for an evening of celebration and support for our School. We also extend our gratitude to all those who participated in the silent auction, purchased staff tickets, and donated to the event.

Together, we raised a record-breaking $185,000 to support students, faculty, and programs at MPH. This event represents an incredibly important part of our annual fundraising program in support of MPH and the people and programs that make MPH an incredible school.

At Manlius Pebble Hill School, our whole-child approach to education includes Art, Performing Arts, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Library, daily Physical Education and Recess. We balance core academics—Literacy, Math, Science, and History—with frequent opportunities to move, play, create, and explore, ensuring students’ minds and bodies are regulated for optimal learning.

We empower students to view the world through multiple perspectives, critically analyze information, and form informed opinions. By studying current and historical events, they learn the importance of civil discourse, authenticity, and respect. In an environment rooted in dignity, kindness, and inclusion, our students develop empathy and compassion—skills that help them thrive as learners, leaders, and citizens.
