PAPER DRIVE SUCCESS

Student Council would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of the paper drives! Our last truck which was taken out in mid August netted over $600. THANK YOU!

We are still looking for Adults to drive pickups to pickup papers from some very loyal savers! I mean these people have been saving for years! So long that many of them cannot make the trip to the high school to drop them off. Please consider your donation of time, 4 times a year to help these people out. Contact Andy Pappenfuss at 269-429-7861 x 206 to get more details.

Student Council is self funded by these paper drives and uses the money to support student and school activities. One such activity is the Freshmen Welcoming party this Friday. We also have donated many things to the school. Right now we are working on funding a gift of 10 tables and 80 chairs for the Multipurpose Room.

See you at the truck!

Attention all fruit farmers in the ML family:

On November 7-9, Michigan Lutheran High School is hosting the East Regional Choral Festival. There will be approximately 270 students and adults needing to be fed 4 meals and several snacks during that weekend. Since many of the visitors will be from places other than Michigan the food committee would like to give them a "taste of Michigan." If any of you are able to donate any fruit that would be great. We are looking for a few peaches and blueberries and quite a few apples. If you can help it would be best to contact Kris Pappenfuss 2269-759-4987. Thank-you so much! Watch for more details regarding the festival coming in the near future.
