On April 10, 2022, the MPA hosted our first in-person event in over 2 years. This Open House gave parents a chance to tour the building, hear from Mr. Clement, purchase Minuteman swag, and make connections with other Minuteman parents! Minuteman parent, Alfonso Velasquez, created this awesome video of the event.
