MFPA
Medway Friends of Performing Arts
Do you have a child who is joining or returning to a school music, band, chorus, or theater
class?
Would you like to play a part in enriching and enhancing your child’s school music and
theater education?
We have the group: Medway Friends of Performing Arts! (MFPA)
The mission of the MFPA is to foster and promote excellence in performing arts programs in the
Medway Public Schools K-12 music and theater programs. We do this by:
Working with school staff and administration to improve programs
Stimulating interest in and encouraging broad participation in performing arts programs by students of Medway Public Schools at all levels
Communicating with Medway families about performing arts events in the schools
Soliciting and raising funds from the public and otherwise offering assistance and support for
students’ curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular activities in the performing arts
