Fundraising

Join the Parking Crew
Looking for a great way to get involved that doesn't take a lot of time while also making money for our school?
This is an easy and fun way to raise money for our school.

The MLC PTSA hosts parking in our school lots for Timbers and Thorns weekend matches and we need volunteers to collect money and direct people to spots.
​
Shifts are short and we will be there to teach you everything you need to know. Bring a friend or come make new ones!

Questions? Contact our coordinators, Nate or Chenney.
