Welcome to the new MCS Blog!

Welcome to the new MCS blog...just in time for all the excitement of back to school organizing, shopping and planning!

It seems fitting to start the new school year learning about each other and what we have in store for this exciting new school year. I am a parent of a first grader, and am as anxious as you may be to get started.
The purpose of this blog is to learn about each other in our school and help those outside of our school learn about how we work together in our community. We will be highlighting individuals and groups of students as they do community service projects, earn awards or other accomplishments, and demonstrate unique talents or interests. We will also be focusing on what’s going on around school, from building upgrades to new teachers, and from extracurricular activities to the energetic assistance provided by our parents and other volunteers. From time to time we'll share tips and thoughts on parenting, God's Word, and anything else God lays on our heart.

We need your help to keep this blog updated. We'd like to hear about how God is working in the lives of our students. If you know of an MCS student or volunteer whose activities or accomplishments are unique or outstanding, please forward an email to KLeSage@MandarinChristianSchool.com.

Keep checking back for updates to our blog as we plan to add new information on a regular basis.
I am excited about all of the activities planned for this school year and the positive impact it will have on our students. I’m so thankful to be involved in a school in which we can not only learn about God’s Kingdom, we can also live out our faith in our daily interactions with our school and our community at large. I look forward to getting to know you better this school year.
