Spring is an exciting time at Morgan Park Academy with various upcoming events and activities planned, including an Arts Night for students to showcase their talents and an Upper School Prom. The dorm is also planning trips to an amusement park, go kart riding, movies, and concerts. It is also the time when students decide whether to live in the dorm again next year or with a host family. The dorm head looks forward to a fun-filled spring with the students. Gabriella shares about her positive experience traveling to New Orleans during project week, particularly enjoying the local seafood dishes like shrimp and gumbo.

1. Dear Parents,
Spring is probably the most exciting time at Morgan Park
Academy. As classes are winding down, the weather is
warming up, and your sons and daughters will have some
great opportunities to enjoy their Spring time here in
Chicago. MPA is sponsoring an upcoming Arts Night,
where your children will be able to show off their musical
talent, and an Upper School Prom, which is an unforgettable
night that we encourage all seniors to experience.
We are planning several activities here at Ivy, including a
trip to Six Flags amusement park, go kart rides, a trip to the
movies, a visit to a local concert, and so much more! Now
is also the time that students are deciding whether to live in
the dorm again next year, or become a member of a caring
MPA host family.
All of us at the dorm are looking forward to a fantastic,
fun-filled Spring with your sons and daughters!

2. I travelled New Orleans during this project week.
Honestly, the food was the most satisfactory
aspect of the whole trip for me. I used to dislike
seafood, but after I came to New Orleans, I was
so attracted by shrimps and fish.
Almost every restaurant in New Orleans has
seafood. Seafood must be their signature dishes.
Grilled shrimps is my favorite entree. I love fried
food so I love french fires and fried shrimps
which are called grilled shrimps on the menu. I
always ordered this course in almost every
restaurant.
Also, I was intrigued by the soup called gumbo. I
have to say that New Orleans made me love
seafood that I thought I would never love. It did
live up to my trip. I have to admit that food is one
of the primary reasons why people travel to New
Orleans.
