Week 12 of the 20-21 School Year

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

Hebrews 1:1-2

Greetings MLS Families,

The holidays will soon be upon us. It has been our tradition to take up a collection for the teachers at Christmas time. If you would like to participate in this collection, you can contribute by clicking here.

Please complete the Interest in 5 Day In Person Instruction Survey if you haven't already done so. Do not complete the survey more than once per child. You can use the following link to complete: https://forms.gle/wXMQ7Fof3dGptKn26

Since many of you are doing your Holiday Shopping, it is a great opportunity for you to increase MLS's AmazonSmile donations. You can make an impact while you shop! Simply shop at smile.amazon.com/ch/20-3757141 and AmazonSmile will donate to Martin Luther Foundation Inc, at no cost to you.

Please mark your calendars, Tuesday, December 8th, all grades will be dismissed at 12:33pm.

It is recommended that boys wear a white collared shirt. Girls can wear whatever top they choose, but keep in mind that if it is a high collared shirt it will be seen.

As part of our commitment to love and care for others, we are collecting new unwrapped toys to give to children that might not otherwise receive gifts for Christmas. We are also collecting canned food and non-perishable food items. If you would like to drop off food or a toy, please do so between the hours of 7:30am - 4:00pm. There is a container immediately when you enter the first set of doors of the main entrance that you may leave these items to avoid fully entering the building.
