My grand daughter's class is small. Her teacher, Mrs. Cope, really cares about each child. The children's security is excellent. I'm pleased that she'll be there for the rest of her elementary schooling.

Caring, innovative, hard working teachers, staff, and volunteers comprise MLA. This school is not just a school but a community for students, parents, and staff. WE all contribute along with our community to prepare the next generation to be innovative, stellar, and community thinkers. The education the students receive at MLA is comprehensive and still includes various 'specials' such as music, library, spanish, art, and drama.

I am so thankful for the team that makes up such a fantastic school...MLA. It is truly a wonderful community to be a part of. My kids LOVE their school and let everyone know it. I recommend this school to everyone and feel so blessed that my kids were able to get in when they did. It's a community that really cares about our kids.

We miss MLA!!! We moved away from the Gresham area to Eugene and are in a 'good' school district but my children (4th grade and Kindergarten) and I miss MLA so much (I keep getting e-mails just to keep up on the school news) We were referred by friends who had a great experience there and we did too. The office staff are so wonderful. They knew each and every child by name and even knew my toddlers name. The class size was wonderful and the teachers were invested in the school and each individual child. I just can't say enough good things about the school. It is truly a wonderful little community (Sigh... maybe they will start an MLA in Eugene)

I started as a parent volunteer at this school when it first opened . Though I struggled with the decision initially, I was grateful for the small school atmosphere and the caring teachers,staff, and parents. I never regretted the decision to move my son to MLA and he was well-prepared for middle school when he left. He left in 2004. I'm still here! I am privileged to work everyday with the students on Outdoor Social Skills (also known as Recess) otherwise you can find me in the office. I whole-heartedly recommend MLA to incoming students and parents.

My kids have been at MLA going on four years. We have seen many changes. Some of the reasons we chose MLA are no longer in force. However, after looking at the alternatives I still think MLA is the best fit for my kids. The teachers and staff know the kids by their first names, they still have the small class sizes, and as a parent, I am able to volunteer in the classroom and in other areas of the school as much as I want. I am able to know the teachers my kids have and the environment they are in first hand. Also, the PTO is not changing the celebration of holidays. That was suggested at a PTO meeting by a parent. As a charter school, we are able to celebrate national holidays, but participation is voluntary.
