Student Resource & Incentive Day
October 20 we will have our first Student Resource and Incentive Day (SRID). We will run an early release schedule, which our day ends at 12:34pm. Lunch will be provided for those that want to stay for lunch. Everyone is excused either at 12:34 or after lunch except for four reasons:
-The student is ineligible
-The student is failing a class
-The student has missing work
-The student is referred by a teacher to stay
In the case of missing work or a student being referred, the student may leave once their missing work is done or if the teacher who referred them is done working with them. They must be cleared by administration prior to leaving. The other students will stay until 3pm. More information will come to the individual students throughout the week.

Fall Festival & Concert
This year’s Fall Festival and Concert will be Sunday October 22nd, 2023. Doors will open at 2pm, when the silent auction begins, and the concert will take place at 4pm and will showcase the talents of our 121 students that make the Fine Arts Department as wonderful as it is. This year the proceeds will go directly towards MLHS Students that are participating in the Fine Arts Trip to Nashville, TN in April. We hope to raise enough funds to help offset the cost of the trip and make it affordable for everyone.
Please consider donating an item or service to our Fall Festival Silent Auction. We are in need of baskets and/or goods and items to be auctioned off. Whether it’s a complete basket or something that can be combined with other items, every donation is needed and appreciated. This is a long-standing tradition of the Fall Festival and we hope to keep it going and make it the best year yet. Baskets and donations can be dropped off in the main office at Manitowoc Lutheran High School from October 12th through the 20th. Or contact Kris Buege at 714-539-1478 to arrange pick up and with any questions.
We are infinitely grateful of your support to MLHS and the Fine Arts Students. Every gift is valued and means so much to us.
