Principal's Post - A Weekly Note From Mr. Ortman
Mrs. Mindy Wolinsky Kindness Day
Happy Friday Everyone,
On Friday, January 17th, Mill Creek teachers and students will be taking part in a schoolwide day of kindness. This special day, the Mrs. Mindy Wolinsky Kindness Day, is named for a beloved teacher who made a lasting impact on the Central Bucks and Mill Creek communities. On Kindness Day, students will be taking part in service projects benefiting local community-based organizations such as the Warrington Police Department, Neshaminy Manor Nursing Home, A Woman’s Place, and Mrs. Wolinsky’s favorite charity, Cradles to Crayons. In classrooms throughout Mill Creek, conversations and lessons will be focused on spreading kindness and reflecting on the positive impact we can make.
Please join us in carrying out our service projects by donating items to Cradles to Crayons throughout the month of February. Our collection will start Monday, February 3rd and will end Friday, February 28th. In addition, we will have a schoolwide pretzel sale on Wednesday, January 22nd to raise money to purchase items that will benefit a Woman’s Place. More detailed information will follow.
Enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Shawn M. Ortman

We are excited to announce this year's Central Bucks Celebration of Schools event being held on January 29, 2020 at CB South.
This very special event will include a display of art representing all Central Bucks schools, student performances, as well as an expo touching on all areas of the district's curriculum and operations. Families can talk with members of our administration, faculty, and staff about the district's current and future planning.
This year's event will also feature a short film including interviews with teachers and staff who have a special connection with Central Bucks. We hope to see you there!
