MCP: LRN Family Newsletter

Good Evening MCP: Lola Rowe North Families,

THANK YOU to all of the families who donated to the Team MCP: LRN FOR A CURE in honor of Ms. Becky Wade! We exceeded our $1000 Goal for breast cancer research. It is still PINK-TOBER and now it is time to support The Sisters Network, a national organization that supports African-American Breast Cancer Survivors. The Southeast Wisconsin chapter supports local breast cancer survivors. Scholars and Staff who want to participate in PINK-TOBER can donate $2.00 to wear PINK & JEANS on Wednesday, October 25, 2023 (see the flyer above).

Did you know we have scholar-entrepreneurs in our network? Five, fierce, fabulous females seized the opportunity and applied to participate in Season 8 of Project Pitch It. These middle school scholars created video applications and were all selected to participate in Round II: The Interview of the application process. Each of them completed their interviews today via ZOOM. We are so proud of:
