January Theme: Be Your Best Self!
The January theme at Miller School is "Be Your Best Self" which connects well to the the start of 2025 and also to the focus for our RULER & RISE lessons in January, too!
Students will be identifying 4 or 5 words that describe their "best self" and they'll be learning how to visualize their best self when they face challenges.
This week our student advisory council members watched the video below to learn more about "best self" and we're sharing it with you so you can view it, too!
We will share more details about our theme when we return from winter break.
RULER "Reset" Stations are Popping Up in Our Hallways!
Library Lunch Volunteers: January & February (There are a few more openings!)
Thank you to all volunteers who have already signed up to support Miller's Library Lunch. There are still a few more openings available, so if you are able, we would greatly appreciate your participation!
Miller School is seeking volunteers to supervise a “Library Lunch” option for students who are interested in reading in a quiet spot after they finish their lunch. We are seeking volunteers on the identified days below to get us to February Break. Volunteers are needed from 10:20am-11:35am.
Important Information for Volunteers:
We need 2 Volunteers to supervise library lunch at a time.
Volunteers will greet the students in the cafe and walk them to the multipurpose room. Please note that lbrary lunches that take place on Wednesdays will begin in the hallway outside of the cafeteria and the last scheduled group will be in the multipurpose room.
Volunteers should monitor the lunchtime and be sure students are ready to go to class at the end of their scheduled time.
All volunteers must have an active CORI on file.
Please review the schedule below and click here to sign up.
