Holiday Meal Fund Drive

As we enter this season of thanksgiving, the PTSA wants to bring awareness of those in our community who need assistance. Food scarcity, housing insecurity, financial stress, and other obstacles to learning are faced daily by MLC students and their families.

You can help. 

​Please consider contributing the  holiday meal fund drive. Your financial donation will allow MLC families to purchase food and other necessities during the holiday season. 


If you need assistance or would like to request a grocery card for your family, please contact MLC's school social worker, Clement.
​

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!

TEACH AN ELECTIVE!
​Want to teach a winter elective?

Picture
MLC's Electives are an integral part of what makes MLC magical. Electives are hands-on, activity focused classes that introduce students in the 1st-8th grades to new topics, information, and learning experiences while at the same time giving caring adults and older students the chance to share their talents, passions and interests. If you sign up to teach an elective, you decide what you would like to offer. Email our amazing electives coordinator, Dana Lipson for more information!

Some popular electives classes: Marimba, Trashcan Beautification, French, Bead Loom Weaving, Basketball, Funky Found Objects, Drama Club, and for the younger MLC learners: Snap Circuits, Hot Glue and You, Spanish, Life Drawing, Martial Arts, Marimba, Bring Your Stuffy to School and so many more! 

An Easy Way To Help...
