Milnes Memo
February 24, 2023
We had another amazing week at Milnes!
Although we will be celebrating the love of reading all month long, we are excited to kick off Read Across America Week next week. We begin with an Author Visit on Monday and Tuesday and end the week with our One School, One Book Kick Off. Please see the detailed information below.
Wednesday, March 1st and Thursday, March 2nd are early dismissal days. The students will be dismissed at 12:45PM. There will be aftercare for the students who are enrolled with the Community School. Lunch will not be provided on those days. Please send in a lunch or large snack with your child if you did not participate in the PTA Pizza Sale Fundraiser.
Please see many of the exciting events, fundraisers, and information below.
Have a wonderful weekend!
