MISSING
SOMETHING?
On April
6 and 7 the MLWGS Lost and Found will be cleared out for donation to local
charities. Please encourage your children to check for any misplaced
clothes, textbooks, water bottles, or electronics. This process will
happen at the end of each month for the remainder of the year. New bins
for sorting the Lost and Found will be going into place over Spring
Break. A PA announcement for students will be read for the 3 days
proceeding a clean out. Please support MLWGS by having students be cognizant
of their belongings to avoid them ending up in the Lost and Found.
