Unfortunately, due to a recent medical procedure and recovery from that procedure, I will be out of the office for a period of time (hopefully a short period of time). In my absence, if you have positive feedback, questions, or concerns for us, please reach out to Mr. John Murtha at jmurtha@cbsd.org, or you can call the main office at (267) 893-3600.

From the Desk of Mr. Murtha
We are so looking forward to seeing our students' faces and beginning our 2020-2021 learning journey with you this Tuesday, September 8! We may be off to a virtual start, but our goal is to make connections with our students and community and to lay that foundation during week 1. You will clearly see that focus in our week 1 schedule posted later in this newsletter.
School may look and feel different as we start.. and maybe for quite some time... but it is still about student growth and supporting student social-emotional needs, regardless of the format. I have been so impressed by the focus and commitment of our Mill Creek teachers as they have prepared to for the start of the 2020-2021 school year. They are ready and excited to work with your children each day!
I sent out a brief video message to start the school year on the morning of Tuesday, September 8. If you would like to view, you can access using the link just below this entry.
Finally, I have only been here a short time, but I truly believe we have Mill Creek Magic in our school and community. I have felt it since I arrived at Mill Creek!
I wish our students a "magical" start to the school year. We are ready for you, and we are excited to get started!
Sincerely,
Mr. John C. Murtha
Assistant Principal

We are thrilled to welcome another new teaching member to our Mill Creek Community! Please welcome Ms. Guinan to The Creek!
You can see a photo of Ms. Guinan above. Here is some information about her!
Ms. Laura Guinan - Special Education
My name is Maura Guinan, and I am excited to join Mill Creek Elementary! I am originally from the Midwest, but I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I received a B.A. of Early Education PreK-4 and Special Education PreK-8, from Holy Family University. My teaching experience has been as a learning specialist across grades 2-6. Aside from teaching, I am an animal lover. I have a dog named Thor and a cat named Pearl! In my free time I enjoy reading, fishing, and spending time with family and friends!
I look forward to getting to know my students as well as the Mill Creek Community!
