What a fantastic way to start off the new year 2019. We welcomed all our kids back from the Christmas break with a winter wonderland celebration. We are so excited about how well the students are doing and what they accomplished during the 2nd quarter. Can you believe that we are already halfway through the school year!!
Some of the highlights since my last letter is that we had an extremely successful Christmas Program. The kids did amazing! We had a lot of fun coming together as a school doing our Holiday Grams right before the break. Recently, students were able to compete in several competitions including our Science Fair, Geography Bee, and Egg Drop(throw). They did such an amazing job and all students come out as winners as they learn and grow from these experiences.
One way that we are trying to teach our students leadership skills and 21st century skills is through our character education program “Leader in Me.” Each quarter we select students who are exemplary in living the 7 Habits. We had 12 new students earn the Leader of the Pride Award this quarter. Please look for the signs around town of the students who earned this prestigious award.
We are looking forward to our Spelling Bee and Habit Assemblies in the near future. Also we are planning on having some activities surrounding families. The Week of February 4th-8th is going to be “Bring your family to School” week. Milford Elementary is such a great place and it is because of the wonderful students and staff. I feel so fortunate to be here and associate with such amazing people.
In conclusion, I hope each one of you continue to enjoy your educational experience here at Milford Elementary and take time to enjoy your family.
