“Try to hold still,” urges a sophomore girl sitting across from a classmate, as she carefully wipes a Vaseline ribbon along her friend’s hairline, framing her face with a shiny outline.

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.

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.
