Principal's Post - A Weekly Note From Mr. Ortman
Happy Friday Everyone,
We enjoyed seeing many of you at our student materials distribution this week! As the end of this unprecedented year approaches, we have thoughtfully considered how to adjust our end-of-year procedures and traditions. One such tradition is Move Up Day.
A typical Move Up Day takes place on the second to last day of school. Students learn who their new teacher will be and "move up" to their classroom to get acquainted and do an activity. Because of this year's unique circumstances, we will not be having a traditional Move Up Day. Teacher assignments will be communicated to families in early August. The teachers will then reach out to schedule a class Teams call where they can meet each other, learn about grade-level happenings, and ask questions.
We hope to have a "Move Back Day" in the fall where students can visit with their 2019-20 teacher and classmates.
Enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Shawn M. Ortman
Principal

Virtual Reading Olympics
5th and 6th grade students have been preparing all year for the annual Reading Olympics competition. Our fantastic librarian Mrs. Hiriak collaborated with the other elementary librarians to host a virtual competition that was held this week. The knowledge that the students were able to retain along with the sportsmanship and teamwork the participants demonstrated during the competition was simply amazing!
Congratulations to Mill Creek's 5 Reading Olympics teams:

The Team Who Must Not Be Named

Special thanks to our coaches, Mr. Molenari, Mrs. Angelo, Mrs. Chambley, and Mrs. Hiriak!
