M-A senior fashion show scheduled for April 28

by Contributed Content on April 24, 2018

The senior/parent fashion show is a 30-year plus Menlo-Atherton tradition and the PTA’s largest fundraiser, providing funding for many of the important student and school services.

The show helps the seniors bond and celebrates their last year at M-A while bringing the community together to celebrate the spirit that is M-A. The fashion show is a professionally choreographed, high-energy production that stars our incredible senior class.

The fashion show takes place on April 28 with three performances. Information and tickets are available online.
