SPANISH AND FRENCH STUDENTS NEED HOST FAMILIES IN JULY







Share your heart and home this summer! Host a student from Spain or France
(ages 13-17) in your home for 3-4 weeks. Learn about their culture while he
or she learns about living in an American family just by being a part of what you regularly do. We have a variety of programs to suit your family’s work or
non-working schedule. Families receive stipends to help out with expenses.

We can help work out transportation or vacation concerns. This will be a treasured memory for your family!

Contact Debbie Hardy 909-3190 or debbiehardy2003@yahoo.com








The 2019 Parent Class Annual Fund Challenge is well underway! The Governor's School Foundation Annual Fund makes a huge impact on the students at MLWGS by directly supporting activities like academic competitions and student travel, as well as new technology, and student financial assistance. The support of our parents is critical in these efforts and we are most grateful for your continued commitment.

Every year parents from each class compete for the greatest percentage of participation. Help your child's class land on top! Current parent participation is as follows:

Senior parents (2018): 29%
Junior Parents (2019) : 26%
Sophomore parents (2020): 25%
Freshman Parents (2121): 29%

We still need to raise more than $125,000 in order to provide the same level of enhancements next year. Make a contribution now. We look forward to all that we can accomplish together for MLWGS!

LAW COMPETES IN POETRY OUT LOUD


On Friday, March 10, 2017, senior Sarah Law (’17, Chesterfield) represented Region 5 in the Poetry Out Loud State Competition. As one of the top twelve students in the state, Sarah was part of a very select group. Statewide, over 9000 students had competed to get to this point. Congratulations go to Sarah, whose remarkable recitation earned her fourth place. The competition took place at the WCVE- PBS television studio. The entire show will be televised at a later date.
