Chalk Up Some Words from Home
The long-awaited week is here. Dragons who chose to do so have returned to the MLWGS campus! Since these students have been in the familiar environment of home for the past year, the MW Library has created a space to connect them with encouraging words from home. Does your family have a phrase or brief quote/saying that you often share to lift each other’s spirits? If so, please submit it for inclusion on the library’s chalkboard wall using this form.
Animando a los estudiantes desde casa
Ya que los estudiantes empiezan a regresar a MLWGS el lunes 15 de marzo, nos gustaría animarlos con palabras inspiradoras de sus familias. Si su familia quiere compartir una frase alentadora en la pizarra de la biblioteca, favor de escribirla en este documento digital. ¡Gracias!AP Testing Information
Students will have the opportunity to take all exams in a paper-and-pencil, in-person format. Students interested in requesting a digital, at-home exam for eligible subjects should do so by Monday, March 29, by using the Digital AP Exam Request Form linked within the AP Testing Information document above. Feel free to use your content teachers as a resource when making your decision about how and when to test. Families may also direct questions to Rachel Loving, AP Coordinator, at rloving@gsgis.k12.va.us or 804-354-6800 x3211.

Scrip News
The scrip team is looking for a volunteer or two who would be willing to sort cards and distribute them to families next fall on a monthly basis. If you are interested, this is a great way to become involved with the PTSA and meet other families! I'd love to hear from you this spring as my son is graduating and we would love to have volunteers lined up for next fall. The program makes a lot of money for the PTSA and costs families nothing extra. Please contact Laura Dysart if you're interested or want more information.
Our next scrip order is due this Sunday, March 21. For every $50 families spend by March 19, you earn a chance to win a $50 scrip card of your choice and a $25 Panera Card. Help the PTSA reach our goal of $1,500 this year – we are really close! Go to shopwithscrip.com to order, and contact scrip@mlwgsptsa.org with questions.
On Thursday, March 18, the Night of the Dragon website will go live, and you’ll be able to register (for free) for the April 24 virtual event, purchase 50/50 raffle tickets, order dinner from Perch or East Coast Provisions (the first 100 orders get a free signature cocktail), see sneak peeks of the April 24 show and auction items, and more.
This year’s NOTD items include long-time favorites and many exciting new items:
