Student Photo Retakes

Those parents requesting student portrait retakes will have the opportunity on Tuesday, January 30th at MLS and the 31st at Shepherd of the Valley Preschool. Just an FYI, a screen/backdrop will be used as a background for these portraits.

Group Class photos were retaken on Friday the 26th. Each student will receive a complimentary class photo.

Please contact John Nichols at buckeyepennvisuals@gmail.com in you would like to request a retake of your child's school picture.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE HYMNFEST: WEAR YOUR PURPLE MLS T-SHIRT.

Please sit with your parents until called to come and sing.

We will close out our National Lutheran Schools Week with our HYMNFEST!

All of our students K-7 have been working on music to share along side the choirs of our BMLSA congregations. They are excited to share this music, as well as a few of our beloved hymns from chapel. With Tom Wyatt (Mrs. Wyatt's husband) at the organ, and additional instrumentation, this will truly be an event you will appreciate.

We don't often have the opportunity to show appreciation to our association congregations. This will be not only an opportunity to thank them, but as our NLSW theme emphasizes, connect with them. We are truly thankful for the many ways they support our school through their mission offerings, congregational tuition assistance, volunteer service, and prayers. What a great way to say thanks! To GOD be the glory!

This program will last roughly 30-45 minutes with the supper to follow.

PARENTS, WEAR YOUR MLS MERCH! We can't wait to see the variety of styles that people chose!
