Mustang Message - Nov. 20, 2022
House Days have begun at Millridge! Special thanks to our Specials Team for integrating our community-wide system into student's days as they compete and collaborate with peers in their grade level House. It was great to see the camaraderie amongst peers last week. It will continue with grades 2 and 3 this week as well as additional grade levels upon return from Thanksgiving Break.
I've been appreciative of our young Mustangs as they continue to learn about text structures, beginning sounds of words, learning of new patterns, integrating multiplication and division into their daily lives and working hard to meet personal goals (one class of students even met their personal goal by Tuesday of last week!)
Let's close with many THANKS TO MRS. WEBB and her students for welcoming baby chicks into the Millridge family this past week (check out the pics below), as well as the following quote from Tanis Blount and his family:
My family is thankful for the peace we share, a safe community, the kindness extended to us and those around us, for good schools, friends, the warmth of a fire, ptarmigans at Thanksgiving, our animals, each other, and our children Tanis and Destiny Rose.
Enjoy the upcoming week with family and friends - we will see you on November 28th. The next newsletter will come your way on Sunday, December 4th.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Craig Caroff
