The Lighthouse Attic is beginning our 17th year of operation. To date we have made donations to ML and other community organizations in excess of $435,000.00. We have 55 volunteers who keep the store running six days a week. The average age of our volunteers is 80! We are in need of younger volunteers, both men and women. Student volunteers are also welcome! We have a variety of needs, manning the check out counter, stocking shelves, sorting donations and pulling old stock of shelves. Hours can be as varied as you like. If you have time and would be able to help you can get more information by contacting our volunteer coordinator, Carol Nolte at 429-0095 or Karen Reinhardt at 428-2503.

TEST GEAR
ACT Prep, online ACT, WorkKeys, and Michigan Merit Exam preparation course is a part of the freshman technology curriculum at MLHS. The course is called TestGEAR. Because ML pays an annual fee, ALL students are eligible for a Test GEAR account. The course is comprehensive and can take up to 60 hours to complete. It is interactive and personalizes itself to your specific needs as you use it. You can also visit www.act.org for released exams, sample essays, and sample questions. Students can log on at school or at home. It's not too early to begin preparation for the MME. This test gear generates an ACT score that will be used for college admissions.
