A glue stick in one hand, and a brightly-colored silk flower in the other, the dark-haired girl purses her lips in concentration and carefully applies glue to the flower bottom before placing it on the mask before her. The girl, a first grade student at Mount Madonna School, is working with her class on decorating skull masks as part of their Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) studies and celebration.

Giving Back and ‘Doing Good’Interview with Prabha Pacey (’96) by Lara Kilpatrick (’85) for The Connection Summer/Fall 2012.
Recently, I had a great conversation with my dear friend and MMS alumna, Prabha Pacey (’86), over a delicious meal at her home in Soquel. Prabha is known to MMS alumni and families for her presence on the Washington, D.C. trips, and for her wonderful voice at senior graduation and the Prabha & Friends alumni concerts benefiting MMS (2009, 2011).

With his dad nearby to lend assistance, Mount Madonna School fourth grader Sammy Caudill lines up the pieces of pre-cut wood and carefully hammers in a nail, successfully connecting the first two walls of the small house he is constructing. This action is repeated again and again – a symphony of hammers and light-hearted chatter – as 14 students around the classroom build their houses.
Mount Madonna School is offering a New Family and Sibling Incentive Program for our MMS alumni.
Recognizing that alumni word of mouth promotion is one of the most effective ways of building our school community, we want to offer a token of gratitude in the form of a cash gift of $250 to each alumnus who refers a family to MMS, which results in a newly enrolled student. This is a way for us to say thank you to our alumni for this invaluable service to MMS.

Student artwork and educational posters adorn the walls in the classroom next to the Farmhouse Office, alongside shelves filled with literature and non-fiction books and neatly-organized desks. This inviting space is where Mount Madonna School’s (MMS) first grade class spends time each school day, writing, reading, discovering and learning together. The curriculum is rich and varied, and recently involved lessons on the pilgrims, geography, politics, immigration and family heritage.
