Hiding God's Word in your heart provides a wonderful "Scriptural storehouse" on which our student can strengthen their faith and knowledge of the Lord. Each Tuesday and Thursday mornings, two of our students have the opportunity to and share their memory work with Mrs. Wolfgram.

SUMMER CAMP OPPORTUNITIES AT MLS


Do you have kids that enjoy chess or would like to learn how to play? Sign them up for one or more of this summer’s chess camps run by “That Chess Guy” Todd Wolf. Camps will run 4 consecutive days for 3 hours per day. Students will solve chess puzzles, learn chess basics, tactics, strategies, opening principles, checkmate patterns and techniques, etc. Participants will also be introduced to chess resources that are available to help them continue to play and learn when the camps are through. Possibly best of all, students may make life-long friends and become part of the local chess community. Students are welcome to sign up for multiple camps and sessions if they wish.
