Today marked the last day of the school year for the Morning Movement and Mentoring Program (MMMP). Over the past 9 months, we built an incredible community through play and learning! A major highlight was our trip to the Massachusetts State House in Boston two weeks ago to tour the People's House and meet with State Representative Mindy Domb and Senator Jo Comerford.

We are profoundly grateful to the Town of Amherst, MA and Amherst Regional Public Schools for their continued investment in MMMP. We also want to give a massive shoutout to our amazing partners, without whom this program would not be possible: Amherst Police Department (Official), Amherst College Center for Community Engagement (CCE) , Amherst's CRESS Department Massachusetts Athletics, Fam Lab at UMass.

It has been a truly rewarding year, and we can't wait to start again in September!
