mlspto.org Highlights for the Week

Playground News
It is with great excitement and appreciation that the PTO announces that a new playground will be installed this summer in the back of the school. Thanks to your generous contributions to the Annual Fund over the past two years, we were able to partner with Albemarle County Schools to create an amazing playground for our community. Click here for more details and schematics of the new equipment. 

Adopt A Garden Plot
This summer we have a few MLS garden plots available for families to adopt. Families will take over the garden plots when school ends and return the plots weed-free at the start of school. Families are welcome to plant and harvest produce all summer!! If you are interested in learning more, please contact Peggy Williams at mhboot@aol.com.
