Principal's Post
Dear Mill Creek Community,
We are seeing a bit of a return of a footwear trend that was in vogue for young people more than 10 years ago. That trend is the wearing of skate shoes (sneakers with roller skate wheels built in to them). While we are all for good fun, the wearing of skate shoes to school does present some safety issues and can be disruptive to instruction. In this vein, we kindly ask that you not send your child to school with skate shoes (maybe save them for the weekend!).
Thank you for your assistance in this matter!
Have a wonderful (and likely snowy) weekend!

From the Desk of Mr. Murtha
We have almost made it through January! Let's be honest, unless you have a birthday or other significant event to celebrate in January, it can feel like a long month. And this year, we have had a lot of super cold, which also impacts our students here at school with greater need for indoor recess (in case you didn't know, outdoor recess is much preferred by our student population). But our students' zeal for learning continues in spite of the frigid temps and sometimes muted opportunities to let out that pent up energy. In true Mill Creek fashion, I see students finding the positive by playing creative indoor games (some of them are even invented on the spot!) and/or cozying up to a good book as alternatives when the gaga pit and kickball grounds are not accessible.
I know it's not until Tuesday, but give yourselves a pat on the back for making it to February, Mill Creek, as well as for keeping such amazing academic focus in the process!
