Winter Break Message from the Director

Students perform for the Governor 2018

Dear Dragon Nation,

We have once again made it to the Winter Break!  I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all of the members of our community of learners for making MLWGS such a special place.  We have all worked hard to make MLWGS what it is and will continue to work hard to chart a path for future successes. 

This time of year is a good time to reflect upon our lives and to take stock of what we have.  I think that when we take a good look around, we will find that we have so much for which to be thankful.  It is easy to lose sight of the good when all one sees on the news is so divisive, but our kids are going to have a huge impact on the future, and that is worth celebrating!

I hope you and your family enjoy a restful winter break and a very happy New Year.

Sincerely,

Robert Lowerre, Director
