ONE Word

It's Friday already! It's been a fabulous week. We got off to a good start with the Coffee after Carpool sponsored by your Parent Volunteer Association. We held a Public Open House with a fresh new agenda and a new location (Middle's Great Room). Our Fine Arts department inducted some new students into their honor societies. Lastly today was Mini Day for PU/CA/U Schools. We have had lots of guests on campus over the course of this week! It may be Friday the 13th with a full moon, but it isn't holding us back!

 

If you keep up with us by reading the Weekly News, or noticed the email that went out earlier this week, you know that I put out a request for YOUR ONE Word. We got some great submissions this year. The graphic in the header is representative of those. Thank you for sharing some very heartfelt words. Head on over to the website to see some of the wonderful comments that came out of that exercise. We are just as grateful for you and your students as you are for Mill Springs.

 

I hope your weekend is perfect, HOT, but perfect.  :)
