Back by popular demand, the MAM bike race is ready to roll!

Get ready for the second annual MAM26, a fun-filled bike ride celebrating movement, excitement, and MAM community spirit. This event is about joy, participation, and connection, not competition. Whether your kiddo is zooming on two wheels or still mastering the art of balance, MAM26 is for everyone.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
🍂A kid-friendly biking course entirely on school grounds
🍂Fun and silly bonus checkpoints along the route
🍂Music, cheering, and tons of MAM spirit

NEW! Two riding waves:
🍁Easy Riders @ 5:15 pm- for kiddos new to wheels or anyone who prefers a more casual pace

NEW! Limited-edition commemorative MAM26 tees available for purchase

NEW! Optional Pledging: Rally your village! Invite grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, friends, and fellow MAM fans to chip in and support your kiddo - and all the experiences, opportunities, and little extras that make MAM so special. Every dollar counts!

All wheels are welcome! Bikes, trikes, scooters, and training wheels are all invited. Helmets are required for every rider. Water bottles recommended.

Wheel decorating and onsite registration will start at 4:30 pm

🍁TOMORROW - LAST CHANCE FOR COFFEE AT THE FLAGPOLE!🍁

Drop off the kids and stick around for a cup of coffee. Grab a hot or cold brew, make some new friends or catch up with old ones, and enjoy a few extra minutes together before the day gets going.

Please consider putting what you’d normally spend on your daily cup toward MAM. Every cup, every gift, and every little bit adds up to big support for our school.

We’re excited to debut this year’s Jaguar Java, made in collaboration with Idyll Coffee Roasters Bags are $20 each and available for purchase through October 30th.

SPRINGFEST 2026 WAS A SUCCESS!

THANK YOU to everyone who attended, donated an auction item for, made bids at, and donated to Springfest 2026!! We had so much fun celebrating MAM with you!

We’ve raised over $42,000 and counting to support student extracurriculars and supplementary teacher funds!

It is not too late to contribute! The MAM Fund sets next year’s budget in May, so your donations will still impact how much programming and teacher discretionary funds we are able to provide in the 2026-27 school year.

Please consider making a contribution if you are able at https://givebutter.com/c/springfest26

Every dollar goes back to our amazing kids. We are so grateful for all of you!
