Milnes Memo
October 7, 2022
Dear Milnes Families,
We finished our Week of Respect with our Character Assembly. During our Character assembly, we discussed the Six Pillars of Character and rolled out our program for the year - Be Paw-sitive! The students will have a chance to earn a paw print with their name and picture to be added to the Character Pillars at the main entrance.
This month's Character Pillar is Caring. During the month of October, Milnes School will focus on the character pillar CARING. Some examples of showing CARING to earn a red paw print are……….

We kicked off our World Cereal-ies where we will begin collecting cereal for the local food pantry. Please see the flyer below.
We are also looking forward to many PTA-sponsored events, such as the Fall Festival, Boo Grams, and PTA Pizza Sale. Please see below for more information.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Warmly,
