MLHS Alumni News – November 2024

Your Alumni Association would like to connect!


Enjoy our October Titan Update and meet our new teachers and hear about our Dig Pink match.

ML and its Lutheran Grade Schools have begun a new initiative calling ourselves members of the Southwest Michigan Lutheran Schools (SWMLS). We have meetings monthly to align ourselves as closely as possible with things like curriculum studies, handbook alignment, tuition philosophies, and fellowship opportunities to encourage each other in our mission. The video below was from our Christian Education Celebration on October 25 at ML. We have a joint theme this year entitled “Together in Christ”. Hopefully you can see that theme throughout the video!!
