Dear Families,
This past week, for the first time this season, the students were able to play in the snow at recess time. They loved it! We will continue to have outdoor recess as much as possible. In order for students to play in the snow, they must have snow pants and boots.
This coming week is a short week with no school on Monday, January 15th, in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
In other news, Mrs. Boylan's leave has officially begun. Moving forward, Assistant Principal, Mrs. Newman, will be managing and sharing out the Miller Memo every other week. Also, during Mrs. Boylan's short term absence, please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Newman (hnewman@westfordk12.us) whenever needing to connect with a Miller School administrator.
Kindly,
Mrs. Newman
