The last week of school there are no Specials in the afternoons so grab your family or friends and have fun! The activities and videos are accessible via this Padlet Link. The password is millburn. Feel free to add scores or pictures to the Padlet. Just press the plus sign under each activity.
Have FUN!!
Didn't Purchase a Yearbook?
We do have an extra 27 hardcover and 9 softcover yearbooks to purchase. If you are interested in getting one for your child, complete the Google Form below by Monday, May 24 at 9:00AM.
In the event we have more people interested than the number of extra copies, we will do a lottery system for the yearbooks. If this is needed, we will do the lottery Monday afternoon so that we can make sure students get them before the year is out.
**Please note that payment must be received before the child receives their yearbook.
$17 Hard Cover
$13 Soft Cover
