PTSA News
Greetings from the PTSA! Here's what we've got cooking this week and there's even more information on our website at MLCPTSA.org.
Craft Faire is coming! The MLC Craft Faire is a beloved event where even the youngest crafter can sell their wares. This year's Faire will take over the MLC Auditorium on December 8, 2022 from 3:30-5PM. Student vendors sell free, adult vendors pay $20/table.
We are looking for a few parents to host crafting tables at the Craft Faire. Please email Sheila: sheilagirardhanson@gmail.com if you are interested in teaching a craft or just re-loading glue guns.
Students can request a scholarship to purchase supplies for their sellable craft. Some very kind Craft Elves donated gift cards to Michaels so that every student can participate in the Faire. To request a scholarship, fill out the signup link: https://forms.gle/3FHci1qbr4dWGEVC6
Please see the signup link for more information!
Save the date: our next PTSA meeting is Tuesday, December 6 at 6:30 PM. Dinner and childcare provided.

Pick Up and Drop Off Reminder
THIS WEEK WAS SO MUCH BETTER!
Thank you for your help!
REMINDER:
Pick up and drop off will be getting a makeover soon to ensure the safety of our students while also encouraging community. For now, these are the changes being made effective Monday November 7th:
DROP OFF (cars using the black top)
Please pull all the way up to the front doors/the line before students exit your vehicle.
Stay in the line to await exit upon Tony's signal. Line cutting is a safety issue with younger students close to the area.
Please do not use the back lot for drop off. This is our staff parking with assigned and very limited space. We want to make sure our educators are able to park and get into their classrooms each morning in time to prep for each day of learning.
PICK UP (cars using the black top)
Students that are picked up by car in the parking lot will be in lines by designated cones/teachers.
Car pick up students cannot go to the playground/court while waiting for pick up.
Drivers will need to stay in their cars. A staff member will come to you for your child's name/with your child.
Stay in the line to await exit upon Tony's signal. Line cutting is a safety issue with younger students close to the area.
Again - this system is being reexamined. Until then - Let' all work together to keep our students safe!
Thank you!
