Hello MMS Families, our sister school needs our help! 

Arcie Valdez works for Communities in School Inc. as Student Support Specialist. After she assessed the critical needs of Landrum Middle School, she put together an Amazon wish list to bridge the gap and support the students at Landrum MS that face a myriad of barriers to success. Please consider supporting this great cause by ordering from this page. As you can see when you click the link, these are necessities like food and school uniforms these kids need to be successful! We truly appreciate any help!

Would you be so kind as to purchase one or several items donate to them? If you select Arcie Valdez it will go direct to Landrum MS.

Thank you!!
