October News You Can Use

Hello, MLC Families,

What a long, strange trip this has been, right? As we await a time for us all to be together again in person, we all hold our friends and teachers close to our hearts. Still, we are still a community! Here's how you can get involved with MLC now:

--Electives!: Share your knowledge with our kiddos by teaching a virtual elective this fall. Consider facilitating one of the BLM electives with elementary or middle school grades. Here is the link to the volunteer form: https://forms.gle/A43kNEGH8VtLRndz8

--If you need grocery or other assistance, please reach out to our counselors, Jeannette or Kelly or our new social worker, Clement to request a Fred Meyer card. 

--Join the PTSA and enjoy the member benefits and advocacy for all students. It's only $12 to join. 

--October PTSA meeting: Our next meeting will be Tuesday, October 6, 2020 at 6:30 PM. We'll be virtual, so join us via Zoom here! We'll be talking about challenges and support for students during distance learning and November ballot measures that affect us all. 

--Save the date: Janet Allison, founder of Boys Alive! will be leading a webinar for MLC parents, "Why Boys Challenge You: Parenting and Teaching for Remote Learning Success" on Nov 6, 2020 at 6:30 PM. Register in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0tdO-rqT4tGNa-eLnP8i-jb-oezK-LtId-

Happy fall, and we can't wait to see you IRL!

Cheers,
