FOOD FROM THE HEART FOOD DRIVE



For the month of February, MLS students in grades 5-8 are organizing a food pantry drive for our LCMS churches that have Free Little Pantries at their locations. As a school, our goal is to fill the “heart” near the south door entrance with all the donated items provided by students, their families, and LCMS church members. Be sure to stop by and watch our heart grow during the month! The students have created some fun theme days for the month—pick and choose which to do OR bring an item every day…we appreciate all donations!  

What is Mayfest?

Mayfest is...

• Our school BIGGEST fundraiser. Tuition covers roughly half of the cost needed to maintain costs for MLS. The rest comes from donations and fundraisers. Mayfest is what keeps our MLS going!
• an elegant, but fun event held at the Bavendick Stateroom located at the Energy Center at BSC. Our auctioneer, Jonathan Larson, provides great entertainment for the evening!
• dependent on the work of volunteers. We need the help from as many of our families as possible!

What we need from our parents:

• To make this a success, we need "all hands on deck!" W have been blessed with some wonderful board members and alumni parents who know the importance of Mayfest and wish to continue the mission of MLS for years to come. We are "broadening our circle," and bring our parents on the team!

THURSDAY, February 20th, 5:30 is our next meeting.

What you can expect:

• You'll get the inside scoop on how you can simultaneously (AND PAINLESSLY!!!) seek donations for MLS while also spreading the word about our great school to members of our community.

• You'll get to see how this can work, along with some great acting skills from Mrs. Wolfgram and other Mayfest team members.

• You will have the opportunity to meet some other parents and learn more about Mayfest together!!!

DID YOU KNOW...

Did you know there is SUPER easy way to let people in our community know about the blessing of Martin Luther School?

Many parents currently in our community and those planning to relocate here are searching for options for their children for their education. What is one place to which people often turn when searching such things? Why, GOOGLE, of course! They "Google" it.

We are missing out on a great marketing opportunity that is painless, effective, and free! Simply "Google" Martin Luther School, go to reviews and share a review. (this seems to work better on a laptop than on a phone.) The more reviews we have also improves our visibility through Google.

After the middle school meeting last week, it was heartening and encouraging to receive validation on where we are, as well as advice for what we need to do to grow. This is an EASY first step for marketing.

Greatschools.org is also another site where you are able to leave a review.

Please take the opportunity to leave a review, if you like, and share the blessing of Martin Luther School!

HELP NEEDED - In the Kitchen

We are looking for extra help in the kitchen to help Miss Carmen. If you are interested in coming in, please take a look at the sign up form below. We are looking for help each day from 9:30-12:00pm to prepare and serve lunch. It is a great way to see students!

MLS GUARDIANS



Martin Luther School Guardians is a program to involve the fathers/father figures at our school. We appreciate the gifts that they can bring whether be assisting with security or engaging with students at in various activities such as lunch, recess, or chapel. Your presence can make such a difference in the lives of our students.

We are asking male volunteers to be present during the day at Martin Luther School. The amount of time available is not limited to a whole day. We would appreciate a volunteer sign up for at least a half day (morning or afternoon) but if you are only able to be present a few hours, please do not hesitate to sign up.

To become a MLS Guardian, please fill out the Volunteer Form and submit. Please fill out and return the Authorization for Background Check to the school office. Forms are also available in the school office. Once the appropriate documentation is submitted, please sign up to spend time at Martin Luther School as the MLS Guardian. Each Guardian will receive a T-shirt to wear during your time in school acting as the MLS Guardian
