OUR MISSION
MLC’s PTSA supports a diverse community of students, teachers, and families by:
Promoting MLC’s legacy of alternative education as a pathway towards personal, academic, and creative success;
Engaging volunteers to enrich MLC’s school environment and programs;
Providing financial aid for experiential learning opportunities;
Sponsoring events that encourage cross-age interaction and foster community;
Assisting with the material needs of our teachers and staff.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit and a part of the Oregon PTA. A copy of our standing rules is available here.
True to our name, all parents*, teachers, and students are invited to attend and contribute to our meetings. Membership with MLC PTSA is required for voting but not required for attendance. PTSA membership is only $12. (Click here and search for MLC under the Local Unit button.) Dinner and childcare are provided for all meetings.
*Parents include caregivers, guardians, friends, and community members present for any MLC student.
Where does the money go?
The MLC PTSA is committed to building a vibrant learning community by funding experiences that benefit the most students. Our commitment to equity remains and no student will ever be excluded from an activity due to their family's ability to pay.
What we're asking of MLC families to be mindful that there are students at MLC of modest means. When paying for your own student's field trip or class expenses, consider giving a little bit more to assist another family.
The MLC community is enormously generous and we thank you for your commitment to all of our students!
