Hello and Welcome!!
My name is Lisa Delmonte.
My name is Jessica Sowinski. I am a parent of two and this will be our 8th year at BPMC! I have assisted with the MCA from the beginning and more notably with our Annual Basket Raffle Fundraiser these last few years. This is my first year as MCA president and I look forward to working alongside Lisa and the other officers, and especially with our community to surpass our goals this year!

Through various initiatives, events, and volunteer opportunities, we aim to enhance the educational experience, empower our children to thrive academically, and build a close-knit community where every parent, caregiver, and family feels valued and involved.
We encourage each of you to get involved, whether it's by volunteering your time, sharing your talents, or simply attending our meetings and events. Your participation and support are invaluable. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected community that supports the growth and success of our students and community.
