Milnes Memo
October 28, 2022
Dear Milnes Families,
We had a great week at Milnes. We concluded our World Cereal-ies event. Our students collected a record 741 boxes of cereal! We are so proud that we get to help families in need and donate to the Fair Lawn Food Pantry. Please see the pictures and video below. Way to go Milnes!
This week, we were visited by the Fair Lawn Police Department and learned all about Halloween Safety. We are looking forward to Halloween on Monday. The weather seems to be cooperating with us for our parade. However, in the event of inclement weather, I will send a School Messenger to notify the school community.
Parent-teacher conferences will be taking place the week of November 14th. The Conference tab will open to parents 4PM on Monday, October 31st, and close on Monday evening, November 14th. Please sign up for a slot to meet with your child's teacher.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Warmly,
Mrs. Stephanie Primavera
