Phase Three Begins!

Press Box Demolition

The foundation is so excited for the next phase of the Big Backyard project to begin! The MLS maintenance staff has begun careful demolition of the press box to make way for installation of the new press box (which will include restrooms and a concessions area underneath) and new, safe bleachers for the home section.

This project is being supported by the MLS Foundation’s generous donors, so it does not have an impact on the school’s normal operating budget. The project is being broken into phases which are being completed as funding becomes available. The first and second phases involved the office consolidation and replacement of the visitors’ bleachers.

Another Moving Update

Most everything is moved upstairs, and our former office is already being converted into a new faculty meeting space. We are still having trouble with our phones, so we appreciate your patience while we sort that out. Visit the About Us section of our website for alternative ways to reach us during this time.

Moving Week!

It’s official – we are in the process of moving our office upstairs. While we don’t expect much disruption to our normal office functions, please be aware that there may be a brief period of downtime while our phone lines are transferred to the new office.

Special thanks to the MLS maintenance staff for their help with the entire Big Backyard Project and especially with moving all our boxes and furniture! (Can you find Ed hiding behind all those boxes?)

Foundation Office Move

The walls have been painted, the carpet has been installed, and we will be moving upstairs next week! Please be aware that this may affect our ability to answer phones and email on Wednesday through Friday as we work to transfer everything to our new space.

Watch for another announcement once we are settled in!

Big Backyard Project

Josh’s Update

We continue to make progress with the Big Backyard project. It is exciting to see the improvements and changes that are being made.

The office consolidation portion of the project is nearly complete. The faculty and administration are moving into their new office space and work areas as I write this update.

Gifts continue to come in, as we have received over $130,000 (as of 12/28/2017). Many donors have set up monthly pledges to support the long-term scope of the project.

We continue to gain momentum and are hoping to finish phase one in the spring/summer of 2018, which would include new bleachers and a press box for the athletic field.

We trust that God will continue to bless the efforts of many. We look forward to improving the environment of MLS, where students learn and grow in their faith.

Office Consolidation Update

Posted on December 7, 2017December 7, 2017 by foundationadmin

Office Consolidation Update

Many of you know that, as part of the Big Backyard project, the MLS business and administration offices are being combined in a central area near the Hardin Street entrance.

As of today, the MLS Business Office has moved into their new location. However, this also means that there is currently nobody available to let visitors in through the Court Street entrance. If you are planning to visit the MLS Foundation and wish to enter through the Court Street entrance, please call ahead (989-793-7511) so we can meet you upstairs and open the door. Otherwise, you may enter MLS through the main administrative entrance on Hardin Street (near the Martin Luther statue).

The MLS maintenance staff will soon work on a few updates to the Court Street office. Once those updates are complete, the foundation will begin the process of moving upstairs. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause in the interim.
