Volunteers
Opportunities arise throughout the school year where we need community support to provide high quality academic experiences for our middle school students at MLMS: guest speakers, field trips, extra helpers in the classroom, dance chaperons, coaches, concession workers, timers, scorekeepers, etc.
In order to do this, The Anchorage School District has specific requirements of all volunteers to keep our students safe. The ASD will need five to ten days to process the needed paperwork and Alaska State Troopers' Interested Person's Report.
