The Mothers Club is proud to support and celebrate the traditions that make MBA such a special community.

From back-to-school gatherings and cherished fall traditions like the Spaghetti Supper and Art Show, to springtime celebrations including ENDADA and graduation events, there are countless ways to get involved throughout the year. Explore the calendar below to see what’s coming up—we look forward to seeing you there!

Spaghetti Supper: Sept. 18, 2026 

Montgomery Bell Academy's Spaghetti Supper is a beloved tradition, and this year's event on September 18th marks the 82nd annual event! 

The Spaghetti Supper is a community builder and the MBA Mothers Club’s largest fundraiser. Money raised directly benefits students and faculty. Historically it is time to gather with family, friends, and supporters of MBA who share a meal before the Homecoming Game. We are delighted to gather in person in the Burkholder Wellness Center! To learn more about the event, visit the Spaghetti Supper website.

Art Show: Nov. 5-7, 2026 

The MBA Art Show is a celebration of creativity, featuring local, regional, and national artists working in a wide variety of mediums, including oils, acrylics, watercolors, pen and ink, and more.
Opening night is free and open to the public, with food, beverages, and live music by MBA students. Admission and parking are free throughout the show. Proceeds benefit the MBA Mothers Club and Fine Arts Department, with 30% of all purchases tax-deductible as allowable by law. To learn more about the event, visit the Art Show website.

Holiday Market: Dec. 5, 2026

The MBA Holiday Market is a festive shopping event that brings together family, friends, and the community to celebrate the season.
Guests can browse holiday gifts and treats from local merchants, artisans, teachers, and students—all while supporting those who make the season bright. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and the perfect way to shop local and spread holiday cheer!

Blazers & More Sales: Aug. 4, 2026 & April 7, 2027
