Finally Feels Like Fall

You may not be aware of this, but every year Mill Springs Academy sponsors the IDA's Dyslexia Dash that is held at Perimeter Mall. This year is no different, we would love for you to join our team and run with us.

So many exciting things have gone on this week, make sure you read everything. We are midway through this semester, our Soccer team wrapped up their season, and conferences have begun. There are a couple articles about the fabulous MarineLab adventure, so don't miss that either. We are even looking at a three day weekend and it finally feels like fall! Who knows, we might even get some rain; it could happen.

Have a great weekend!
