We kicked off a few new After School Clubs this week, including the No-Bake Cookie Club, the American Sign Language Club and the Drama Club. Even without the use of an oven, the Cookie Club made our kitchen smell amazing! Many thanks to Ms. Tana, Ms. Becca and Ms. Christine for sharing their time and passions with the children in these after school programs.

On Monday, January 15th, MFCS will be closed in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. 

There are featured events around the state, including: 

The  36th Annual Martin Luther King Day Community Celebration , which will take place at the  Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral (650 Hanover St., in the Hellenic Community Center).  The Celebration is sponsored by the Martin Luther King Coalition, which unites diverse local organizations dedicated to carrying on Dr. King's work to end racism, eliminate poverty, and promote peace through active nonviolence.

The MLK Day of Service, sponsored by Volunteer NH. On  January 15 from 9am to noon, at 72 Concord St, Manchester, NH. Join this free community event for all ages, featuring a diversity, service, and volunteer fair! We will also be accepting donations of canned chicken, canned tuna, peanut butter, canned soup, jelly, and other non perishables for the NH Food Bank.

Plans for our 3rd Annual Night of Community are falling into place! 

Please plan to join us on June 9th at 6pm for an adult gathering and celebration in support of our school community.

This year, we have a new venue partner - the Palace Theatre! MFCS event organizers, Rachel Marziano and Mel Johansson are hard at work with ideas for the event which will be held in the Palace's newest space, just beside the Theatre on Hannover Street.

This annual event provides a wonderful opportunity for adults in our community to spend time together while raising critical funds for our school. 

To learn more about the event, and find out how you can lend a hand, please contact Rachel Marziano.
