Tomorrow is Bobcat Pride Friday! Every Friday, students can earn a classroom Bobcat Pride point for wearing blue and yellow. Points are tallied for each class and the points can be redeemed for classroom rewards. Mill A PTO has a little store near the school office with a variety of Bobcat colored items to help students show their Bobcat Pride. Currently there are some MAS t-shirts, a variety of blue and yellow colored t-shirts, blue and yellow scrunchies, necklaces, etc. We try to make it easy for you to get a few essential items and a few fun items for your students.

We had such a great first day! Erika Almskaar (K-2 Teacher), Jennifer Talbott (6-8 Teacher), Bob Rogers (Principal/Superintendent), Crystle Durham (3-5 Teacher) and Greta Lundby (Paraeducator)
