January 2021 News you can use!

Dear MLC Community,
​
I hope that you've had a restful and wholly un-eventful holiday break. Hopefully you had a chance to view the annual Solstice celebration that so many MLC students and staff contributed to virtually.

f you've been around a while, you might remember the song "Winter" that the whole school sings at Solstice and is featured at the beginning of the video. (Here's (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy7Wt7OgQ8s) the original by John Krumm.)

I've been humming this tune to myself as a reminder that for right now, we're dancing around the fire until spring time comes again.

What's coming up in January at MLC!
