SENIORS:

Selective Service Registration

Federal law says that all 18-year-old men must register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday. Registration takes only a few minutes and can be accomplished by visiting www.sss.gov. For additional information, call 1-847-688-6888. Failure to register can lead to fines, prison, or withholding of college grants.

TRANSCRIPT REQUEST?

Our office has gone to an online transfer of documents called "Parchment". Parchment is an online database that will transfer an official transcript to a college, or address requesting it. You can request your transcript by going to our ML Website: www.michiganlutheran.org and clicking on the box, "Request my transcript" on the right side of the home page. If you have any questions about this service, please contact Mrs. Sievert in the Office.

Festival Singers Rehearsals

We will have a very exciting first semester as we make preparations for hosting this year's East Regional Choral Festival here at MLHS! In order for us to hit the ground running in August, I'd like to meet with my Festival Singer group from 6:00-7:00 PM on August 11,13 and 14. (Note NO rehearsal on Tuesday, August 12th!!!)

These three initial rehearsals will give us some time to build our new sound for the group, as well as check out some of our music for the first part of the year. I picked these times because no one indicated that they were going to be involved in the fair or football, and this was the most convenient time for us to meet. Please mark your calendars and plan to be at these rehearsals. See you in August!

Pep Band Boot Camp

We will once again be kicking off a great year of band music with our Pep Band Boot Camp! All new and returning band students (grades 9-12) should plan to attend this Pep Band Camp on August 11,13,14, and 15. (Note NO rehearsal on Tuesday,

August 12!!!)

Rehearsals will run from 1:00-2:30 PM

each day. This will be our primary organizational time for this year's pep band music, so attendance is very important! Fine Arts points will be given for each day you attend, so come to them all and get a jump start on your points for next year!

Color Run Team Participants Wanted

The Color Run is a 5 K walk/run that will be touring in South Bend, IN on September 27, 2014. " The Color Run was founded in March of 2011 as an event to promote healthiness and happiness by bringing the community together to participate in the 'Happiest 5k on the Planet'."

Ms. Sperle is getting a team together from ML! If you are interested please contact her for more information. She will need to register the team by Aug.13 to get the reduced ticket rate. Please email at dsperle@michiganlutheran.org, or call the MLHS Office at 269-429-7861 ext. 201.

PAPER DRIVE FOR MLHS

MLHS would like to thank its faithful supporters for generously taking the time and effort to haul their used paper to the ML Paper Truck. This operation has been in service at ML for nearly 25 years and has provided a steady source of income for the MLHS Student Council. To God be the glory!

The MLHS Student Council is a student run service group that provides manpower and non-budgetary items for the school.

ML is looking for adult volunteers to drive to houses and pick up the papers that elderly people have been saving for us. A pickup truck or bigger vehicle would be a benefit but not a necessity. We would greatly appreciate your help. Talk to Andy Pappenfuss if you are interested.

Let's keep the MLHS Paper Truck running for 25 more years. There is a truck available for drop-off daily. The student council will offer its assistance with your papers from 8am - Noon on the dates listed below:

August 23
December 6

March 7

May 23

PARENT ORIENTATION

Parents of incoming freshmen and new students: Please plan to attend our parent orientation on Aug. 18th at 7 PM.

Come and meet the MLHS teachers and learn what the days at ML will be like for your student.
