We wanted to let you know that your student(s) may need help carrying a pumpkin when they get off the bus, or when you pick them up. All students will have the option of bringing a pumpkin home today!
The costume parade this morning was so fun and our students got to trick-or-treat at 15 stations around our campus. We have been having a wonderful Halloween day at Mill A School!
Fall Festival is tonight! The fun starts at 6 pm!
Please help us show the most Bobcat Pride ever by wearing royal blue and gold!
We hope you have a wonderful night in our school!
