MKA Class of 2012 Celebrates Senior Day

Friday, April 27 was the last official day of school for the senior class and they celebrated in style. This morning’s visitors to the MKA Upper School were greeted with the results of the annual senior prank – including streamers across the car line entrances, a large “For Sale” sign on the side of the building, chairs on top of lockers, House competition items replaced around the building and cups of water lining the floor of the administrative offices.

Seniors began their last day at MKA prior to starting their various May Term activities (that include opportunities for community service, independent projects, Primary School internships and a trip to China) by gathering together in the Dining Hall for Senior Breakfast.

This annual event serves as a formal welcome to the MKA Alumni Association and speakers included Alumni Director Laurie Hoonhout McFeeley ’76, Alumni Council President Kent Walker ’80, Director of Development Geoff Branigan and Headmaster Tom Nammack who presented the seniors with MKA laundry bags and T-shirts.

Highlights of the Breakfast (in addition to the food) were the formal dedication of the Class of 2012 Yearbook to Al Rehus, and the presentation the Alumni Council’s Honorary Alumni Distinction to former Upper School English teacher Nathan Fuller (presented by Jay Wecht ’83) and to Head of Campus Dr. David Flocco, who becomes an Honorary Alumnus of the class of 1999.
