Ways to support our school

Volunteer at Our Amazing Parking Fundraiser

The MLC PTSA will host parking for Timbers and Thorns games again this school year to raise much-needed funds for student activities (such as supplies for classroom and electives, field trips, scholarships, community building events–all the reasons we love MLC.

This fundraiser has proven to be a very good revenue source for us. We can see these efforts directly supporting the school and our students. As more and more people know about us, they are relying on us for parking and we will get even better parking turn-out.

Time slots are just two hour shifts. There are weekend day and weekend evening games to choose from.
At least two people are needed for each shift. So grab a friend, your student or other parents and help support the MLC community.
You can find all available sign-up dates posted here.

What will you be doing?

Collect parking fees
Direct cars to available spots

And don't worry, we'll make sure a seasoned parking volunteer is there to show you the ropes.

***Even if you are not able to volunteer this time, PLEASE spread the word to your community of Timber and Thorn fans that parking is available at MLC, starting 1 hour before kickoff and stays open 3 hours after kickoff. (So a 7:30 kickoff means the lot opens at 6:30 and closes at 10:30).
