The Maret Update is published three times during the school year for current Maret families. Writers and photographers are needed to cover school events. The MPA publishes a monthly newsletter with information for families about school activities. A parent editor compiles information, writes, and edits the newsletter. Computer knowledge makes the task quite simple.
Writing takes place around the third week of each month.
