H&S October 2020 Calendar
From the Desk of Mr. Murtha
Fall is, in my opinion, the best time of year. The beauty of the leaves changing (only starting to change in the right photo from outside Mill Creek, but still beautiful!) and the beginning of many holidays generates excitement, activities (especially family ones), and a lot of anticipation - I love all of it!
A common theme is that things will look very different this year, and they will, but I have quickly learned that part of Mill Creek's Magic is that we, as a community, will not allow any of the current obstacles we are facing to diminish the spirit in which we celebrate each day, learn new things, and support one another. So, as with many things, our fall season both in and out of school will look a little different, but I do hope that the wonderful feelings we evoke from this time of year are warmer and more vibrant than ever before. I can certainly tell you that our teachers, staff, and students are behaving in a fashion that supports the fulfillment of that hope, and it is incredible to witness that positive behavior here each and every day!
