When twelfth grade students at Mount Madonna School (MMS) began gathering donations for heir upcoming “global” field trip to India, student Renata Massion contacted Bill and Linda Pope, owners of The Print Gallery in Santa Cruz, a screen printing and embroidery business, to enlist their support.
A statistics unit for sixth grade students, how to establish a makers’ engineering and creativity space and connecting cultures through music, will be the focus of three presentations offered by Mount Madonna School (MMS) faculty members Lisa Catterall, Premdas Rohan and Sarojani Rohan to educators attending the Northern California Regional Meeting of the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) on March 9 at Head Royce School in Oakland.
Thank you to everyone who has already made a gift to the Annual Giving + Capital Campaign!
Congratulations to all for completing the audition process. You’ve done your part. Now comes the next step- casting of the play. As we know, casting can be challenging for both performers and directors alike. Often, casting is not a true measure of how we as performers took risks of involvement, faced fears, expanded talents and perhaps discovered internal nourishing pools of creativity. That is why it is important no matter what role assigned we allow ourselves positive reflection about our own growth within the process.
Earlier this week, Mount Madonna School fourth and fifth grade students took a field trip to UCSC’s Life Lab to learn more about nutrition and the role of organic gardens. Docents shared with the students about how different colored vegetables help support distinct body functions, such as memory, bone growth and eye development; they also took students on a garden ‘tasting tour,’ with students sampling chard, kale, rhubarb, kohlrabi and tangerines.
On February 20, the fifth grade class presented to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council. They asked the council to consider changing the current “recommendation” of a 50-yard boating distance from whales in the Monterey Bay to a 100-yard law.

Today the fifth grade class presented to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council. They asked the council to consider changing the current “recommendation” of a 50-yard boating distance from whales in the Monterey Bay to a 100-yard law. Students were well-spoken, educated and mature! Great job!
Pre/K and second grade buddies enjoy hiking forest and meadow trails around campus. Together students explore nature, learn about ecology and build friendships!

Imagine sailing 3,000 nautical miles in fifteen days on a new, untested boat with an experimental rig. Imagine having four-year old twins and a nine-year-old aboard.
