MMA Buddy Benches honoring John Tryon

Dearest MMA Community:

As many of you may know John Tryon, son of our Executive Directory JoDene Tryon, passed on May 27, 2016. John was a beloved, son, brother, friend, uncle and also a cherished member of our school community.

John helped in many ways around our schools including maintenance, as an assistant on the E2 campus and most recently as the IT specialist. He was a gentle spirit with a sweet smile and he will be missed.

As a tribute to the selflessness expressed by John we would like to install Buddy Benches on our MMA playgrounds. If you are unfamiliar with the concept of a buddy bench please watch this short video.

John was a wonderful friend to many and we know that his kindness will not be forgotten. If you would like to participate in honoring John please make a donation in his memory. Funds collected will go toward the purchasing and instillation of these benches.
