Dear Seniors and Senior Families,
It’s hard to believe commencement is a little under two months away! We understand some families have begun preparing for commencement and are looking forward to having extended family in town for this milestone event honoring your child.
Commencement invitations have been printed for the senior class. Each senior will be receiving 10 invitations.
Seniors – please remember to swing by the Division Office and pick up your envelope containing your ten commencement invitations. Each envelope is labeled with your name and organized alphabetically by last name. Envelopes are located on the countertop next to Mr. Montas’ office door.
Please reach out with any questions.
Warmly,
Mrs. LaHaye

Grade 5 Play Moves up to the Silver Screen |
|
|
|
The fifth-grade play has been a longstanding MPH tradition. In recent years, Maria Ricciardiello and Amy Abdo facilitated the students in a process that first began as revising an existing play and then moved to the creation of curriculum that allows the students to write and produce the entire play themselves.
Jennifer Concepcion and Maria Ricciardiello have incorporated this production directly into fifth-grade lessons and activities to give students a sense of ownership and responsibility. Each fifth-grade student has had the opportunity to be an intricate part of a process that has included script writing, revising, acting, and, this week, filming. Students have been learning about important aspects of a play’s full production including stage directions, props/prop creation, scenery, lighting, signage, film editing, as well as the incorporation of music and special effects.
This year, the class has been very lucky to have Raphael Concepcion (“RC”) from Syracuse’s own Newhouse School of Public Communications join them to film and edit their production. Thank you to Mr. Concepcion for his time and expertise!
The fifth-grade families are invited to a premiere screening on Friday, May 6 in the MPH Coville Theater at 5:30 p.m. Lower School families will be provided with details to watch this production on a private YouTube link that evening as well.

Senior Capstone Projects Return to Campus |
|
|
|
Seniors present their capstone projects tonight, Friday, April 29 to the whole community for the first time in three years! This is going to be a public (and masked) event, where our seniors are given the chance to show you the results of a research journey they began last spring! Students from the Class of 2022 have researched fetal microchimerism, the future of unmanned space exploration, and contemporary methods for learning Eastern languages. They've written witty cultural analyses, painstakingly researched policy papers, and searching personal essays. They've filmed documentaries, video essays, and one-take films. They've written plays and screenplays. They've made albums in record studios and in their bedrooms. They've interviewed doctors, academics, and jazz musicians. They've programmed podcasts, academic curricula, and self-driving cars. They've designed affordable clothing styles, performed standup, and waded through the shallows of Cranberry Lake collecting mayflies. They've surveyed, sleuthed, drawn, designed, predicted, practiced, read, written, and revised their way to next week's presentations and they'd love for you to see what they've done.
The community IS invited, but it will be a masked event, and non-students/faculty will be asked to complete a DHA.
