Good afternoon. This note is intended to provide some basic information about the MAMA program, to serve as an announcement with regard to this year’s film festival, and to invite you to participate by making a film of your own. The Moravian Academy Media Arts (MAMA) program was created for the purpose of providing opportunities to our students and the overall community for creative expression through film and other media arts. Over the past ten years, we've created and shared our film projects typically in the form of divisional assemblies. This year, with the coronavirus pandemic, things have looked quite different: we have not been able to create videos in our filmmaking electives as we have in the past, so we’re going to need to rely heavily on submissions from classes and cohorts inside of school and students and families outside of school. We’re not sure what we’ll get, but we’re hoping we’ll have enough content to share and enjoy together in some form. This is your invitation! Please consider creating a short video-based project and sharing it with us. For submission guidelines and rules, please see the submission form.
The sixth grade students recently explored living and working in space on board the International Space Station. Students investigated what it takes to create a human-safe and comfortable environment in the absence of gravity. They learned the importance of the Environmental Control Life Support Systems (ECLSS) that make life possible on the ISS. As a culminating activity, the students (working individually or in pairs) then used their new understanding of ECLSS to design spacesuits that would allow astronauts to bring portable life support systems with them on spacewalks.
Moravian Academy students Elena Capobianco '23, Krysta Nichols '21, and Yan Yu '23 have been accepted into the PMEA All-State Orchestra this year. It will be held online and will take place April 14 -17.
