Wildcat Weekly - Board Update
March 2024
Wildcat Proud
This semester we are starting to give out "Wildcat Proud" cards. These are small, business card-style cards that any adult in the building can hand out. These cards are for students who go above and beyond in their actions, attitudes, and achievements here at Mill Creek West. Students then bring the cards to the office, get their picture taken, and then on Friday, I will draw out 4-5 cards and those kids will get to spin the wheel for prizes. Some of the prizes include lunch with me, extra STEM time, extra art time, a treat from the basket, a prize from the cart, etc. Lots of different options on the prize wheel! Here are just a few pictures of some of our recent recipients of Wildcat cards!
Going on a "Grand" Adventure!
Grandparents/Special Persons Day
Join us for some adventures on Friday March 15th from 1-3. Grandparents or special persons will pick up their student from the classroom and then have time to visit several areas of the school to complete some activities with their student. If you are taking your student home when done, please ask the parent to contact the teacher to make those arrangements ahead of time. We will have wristbands for any student who has pre-arranged this. Hopefully, this will cause the exit process much more efficient.

Counselor's Corner
Mrs. Gullion (sometimes accompanied by Millie) taught Tolerance and Diversity lessons in the library last week. Hopefully students went home and shared what they learned about not being afraid of those who are different and about how we first have to love what's unique about ourselves and then we can appreciate differences in our friends. Each grade level had a slightly different lesson that somehow revolved around these themes.
As always, if you need to reach me, don't hesitate to call or email.
