Mills Moments
October 4th, 2024
We held a Trojan Assembly this week to recognize students in a variety of ways. Congratulations to our September winners for being recognized by their teachers for showing 'enthusiasm'. Also, many students had their Trojan Ticket pulled and were able to choose a prize. Students are given Trojan Tickets as part of our positive behavior system.
Every assembly begins and ends with the singing of our school song. Ask your student to teach it to you! We're From Mills and Couldn't Be Prouder!
