 Two years ago, enrollment growth was recognized by the NLSA Board as key.   The area needed to be improved, and they believed it was important enough to fill this unique position. MLA is blessed to have a very special person in this job.  The position is especially significant because there are many private schools that do not have this position nor an energetic, outgoing, do-anything-to-help person. Many of you have seen her at different functions, seen her in the morning or in the afternoon, and probably have received multiple texts from her.   Mrs. Martens is that person for MLA.  She was hired a little over two years ago as the Development/Admissions Director.  After two years of working for us, I believe she continues to be as fired up for MLA and her Lord as she was on day one.  She is continually working in the community so others will know about the gifts we have at MLA.  

 MLA is also blessed to have a dedicated staff that works hard to help every student succeed.  They work behind the scenes to help bring new students into the MLA family.  The staff helps the new families/students to feel welcome and grow academically and spiritually so they may face the challenges of the world.  These wonderful teachers play an important role of making sure the children are in a safe, academic atmosphere, and that they are excited about school daily.  

 MLA is blessed to have wonderful parents.  You play a huge role in the success of your child(ren) and MLA.  Your encouragement and prayers for the faculty, staff, leadership, and children are enormous.  Mrs. Martens and the staff have critical roles in the growth of MLA, but word of mouth is an even bigger component.  A personal invitation to a family to attend an MLA event literally opens the door for them to experience a small taste of what MLA has to offer.  A positive post on Facebook, GreatSchools, Google, and the many other digital media sources available provides others with positive feedback.  

 Thank you for being part of the MLA family, as well as, the present and future success that the Lord has in store for MLA.
