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

MFPA Support for the Medway Schools & Community
The following are examples of support that we have provided since our inception in 2011.

  • Private music lesson financial aid

  • Instrument rental financial aid

  • New instruments for the music program including a baby grand piano

  • Stage equipment including a portable sound system, risers, and acoustic shells

  • Bus transportation for enrichment trips and festivals

  • Support of the Tri-M and ITS Honor Societies

  • Support of the Medway High School and Middle School theater and musical productions
