It's everything Minerva Local, in your pocket.
Our MLSD App downloads are taking off! Now it is time to make sure you have access to your child's Rooms. Rooms is a spot within the MLSD App, or through a Thrillshare online platform, where your child's teacher can send out announcements, post pictures, and even send direct messages to guardians. Using Messages as a two-way communication platform allows teachers to alert you via push notification, email, and even text- letting you know a secure message from them is waiting for you. It may be a message to the whole class, team, or club, or a direct message about your child.

Thrillshare/Apptegy will be pushing out a direct invitation to the first and second guardians listed in Final Forms to join their child's Rooms this Thursday, September 4th. We urge you to click join, and jump-in on our new communication platform!

Mayson White, a freshman football player for Tusky Valley High School, was paralyzed after fracturing his C4 vertebra during a game on August 22, 2025, against Waynedale High School. He underwent surgery but is paralyzed, though he has some movement in his right arm. The Minerva Lions stand with Mayson and Tusky Valley during this difficult time. The Minerva Athletic Booster Club will be collecting donations for Mayson at the Varsity Football game on Friday, August 29, 2025 vs Crestwood. If anyone has an interest in donating stop by the Minerva Athletic Booster Club tents in the southwest and northeast corners of the stadium.
