Screens
Our thanks to Huntington Glass for putting new screens (no charge) in frames for the Chapel room windows. It's been more than ten years since the Ellerbroeks had kids at MCCS, but they continue to be good friends of the school.

Parents--Sell the school!
In her Edutopia blog entry for August 3, Molly suggests six ways parents can market our school: Be a champion; Host a conversation; Start a blog; Use the news; Be consistent; and Prepare successors.
Why are these ideas important?
1. By far the most effective advertising for private schools is parent word-of-mouth.
2. Increasing student enrollment is the one single thing that will assure the future prosperity of MCCS.
3. We have space for more students and would love to reach more kids in our community.
4. Traditional approaches to marketing--radio, newspaper, TV, bulk mail and Open Houses are not very effective.
So, let's get the word out about MCCS.
