From the Desk of Mr. Murtha
Our students, teachers, staff, and parents (thank you for all of your support from home!) are upon the conclusion of our first week of school. The school year start with its virtual format has certainly presented learning curves for all, but the positive outlook and tenacity of all our stakeholders to make it the best learning experience possible has been impressive. We get better and learn more each day! I truly believe a silver lining of our current situation is that, when we are able to welcome students back into the building, they will return with an entirely new set of skills that are critical foundational pieces for success as they progress through school and then later in life.
Mill Creek is truly grateful of all of your support and the efforts of all the members our community - THANK YOU!
Mr. John C. Murtha
Assistant Principal

Unfortunately, due to a recent medical procedure and recovery from that procedure, I will be out of the office for a period of time (hopefully a short period of time). In my absence, if you have positive feedback, questions, or concerns for us, please reach out to Mr. John Murtha at jmurtha@cbsd.org, or you can call the main office at (267) 893-3600. I look forward to being back soon, and I wish you all a wonderful start to the school year!!!

My name is Lee Anne Fialkowski. I am 45 years old, and I am married with three children ages 27, 21, and 11. We are a blended family and have lived in Central Bucks for about 19 years. I was born in Abington, PA and graduated from Hatboro Horsham High School, where I went straight into the work force doing administrative work for various companies until I decided to stay home with our youngest daughter. I am super excited to accept the Duty Assistant position at Mill Creek. I am really looking forward to meeting the staff and students this fall.

Hello! My name is Tori Millman and I am SO excited to be a part of Mill Creek Elementary School as a first grade teacher. I graduated from Penn State University where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Special Education. In my spare time, some of the activities I enjoy are dancing, exercising and riding my bike on different trails.
