Good morning!
We are excited to announce a new option for submitting notes related to student absences. Beginning Monday, parents and guardians may use the form at the link attached to submit student absence notes electronically. Excuses must be submitted within two days of returning to school.

This link will also be posted on our school website and Facebook pages for easy access. If you choose to use this option, you will not be required to send a physical note to the school.

We will continue to accept physical notes as usual—this new form is simply an additional option provided for your convenience.

Our Kindergarten and first-grade students had a wonderful time celebrating Black History Month with a special guest reader - Ms. Sharmaine Anderson! She is the chair of the Education Committee for the Camden NAACP and is always a joy to have in our school!

Through joyful stories and meaningful conversations, students explored the importance of kindness, courage, and the many voices that have shaped our history. Moments like these inspire curiosity, spark imagination, and remind us how powerful reading can be.

Thank you to our guest reader for sharing your time, your story, and your love of learning with our students. We are grateful for you.

We are thrilled to share information about our upcoming Valentine's Day Dance! On February 12, students are invited to stay after school for the dance. Admission is $6 and includes a snack and a drink. Students must have a ride home from school when the dance ends at 4:30pm. If your child is interested in attending, please fill out the permission slip and return it to school by February 10.

MLG’s Running Club is hosting a schoolwide Shoe Drive Fundraiser now through February 9, 2026! Students have been hard at work alongside Mrs. Walker, sorting donations and bagging pairs of shoes. Each pair collected helps raise funds for our running club, and all donated shoes will be repurposed to support individuals and families in need.

We are still accepting donations, so it’s the perfect time to clean out those closets! We welcome any size or style of clean, gently used, or new shoes. Donations may be dropped off in the front lobby of Mamie Lou Gross Elementary School.

Thank you for helping our running club one pair at a time!
