Dear MBA Mothers,
Welcome to the MBA Mothers Club! My name is Jena Simmons, and I am truly honored to serve as this year’s Mothers Club President. The 2025–2026 school year is off to a wonderful start, and I have no doubt it will be a very special year for all of us.
My son is a senior, and throughout his time at MBA, the Mothers Club has been an incredible source of connection and community for me. Two roles that especially prepared me for this one were serving on the Freshman Homecoming Committee and as a Sophomore Class Mom. These opportunities allowed me to spend time on campus, meet new friends, and become more deeply involved in the MBA experience.
The Mothers Club offers many ways to get involved—from events that celebrate and support our boys to gatherings designed to help us connect and grow in friendship. I encourage you to participate in whatever ways your time and season allow.
This year, I’ve chosen a motto I hope we can all carry with us:
“May we lead with laughter and give grace generously.”
We are a diverse and talented group of women, each with our own accomplishments, backgrounds, and dreams—but we are united by the love and pride we share for our boys. Let’s use that bond to build each other up and support the MBA community with joy and generosity.
If you’d like to learn more about the Mothers Club—or simply want to chat—I would love to get to know you. Join me for coffee or a walk sometime in the coming months.
I look forward to all the ways we’ll partner together to support our boys and this extraordinary community.
Roll Red,
Jena Simmons
2025-2026 MBA Mothers Club President
