Principal's Post - A Weekly Note From Mr. Ortman
Dear Mill Creek Families,
Happy Friday!
The efforts and work of our 3rd Grade Girl Scouts, as highlighted at the start of our newsletter, serve as a wonderful reminder of both the kindness of the Mill Creek population and the essence of the upcoming Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. May these incredible young ladies inspire you!
I encourage you to enjoy the long weekend, whether as a means of recharging or as a means to both recharge and provide some service to your community.
Thank you for another wonderful week at Mill Creek!
Shawn M. Ortman
Principal
From the Desk of Mr. Murtha
The upcoming Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday is unique in that it is one of the few holidays where we ask our citizens to consider spending the day in service. What a fitting way to honor the late Reverend King through service to others, as he certainly dedicated his life to helping improve the lives of others. Dr. King not only focused on civil rights for all, but he also made it his personal mission to wage a war against poverty in the United States of America. His work goes unfinished for both causes, but the groundwork he laid impacts us today and likely will forevermore. Moreover, the progress he achieved and set the stage to achieve cannot be undervalued. Dr. King is arguably one of the most influential individuals in the history of the United States if not the world.
Our current circumstances may make some acts of service more difficult this year. I certainly encourage participation in any meaningful service act that would honor the legacy of Dr. King. If you and your family are unable to serve in the greater community, consider smaller acts of service in your home or community (helping mom/dad; checking in on an elderly neighbor). Just be sure to do so with parent approval (if under 18) and with the health and safety of yourself and others in mind.
I wish you a wonderful weekend of fun, as well as reflection (whether it be in thought or service) on the selfless work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Mr. John C. Murtha
Assistant Principal
