Mill Creek Magic Messages
News and Updates from Mr. Croyle and Mr. Murtha 11/10/2023
From Mr. Croyle and Mr. Murtha
As we approach Thanksgiving, a holiday with a specific focus on family and an opportunity for families to gather, we cannot help but consider that the majority of families have someone who has been called to serve. The November 11 recognition of Veterans Day provides us with the chance to give specific focus and thanks to those miliary Veterans who worked tirelessly to protect many freedoms we hold dear.
Mill Creek was honored to recognize our miliary Veterans on the eve of Veterans Day by holding an assembly to recognize and salute their service. We welcomed service veterans of various military branches to Mill Creek this morning, recognizing their service through a musical performance, video tribute, and some very touching letters of thanks written by our students, as well as some student artwork dedicated to the Veterans. We were also grateful to hold a pre-assembly breakfast for our special visitors!
We truly hope our guests of honor departed Mill Creek today feeling appreciated and knowing how much we value the years of service they gave to protect our country and our freedoms!

Important Information...
- Free and Reduced Lunch information. All families must apply every year for the free and reduced lunch program. The program is based on income only. If you were approved last year and are seeing charges on your child’s account, you did not submit a new application for this school year or submitted the wrong application. Here is the application to apply online. www.myschoolapps.com If you need a paper copy, please contact our School Nurse, Kathy Budniewski RN at kbudniewski@cbsd.orgPlease review the "Rules for Using Technology" in school list below with your child(ren). It will help reinforce what we are discussing with students here at school - thank you!
- If you make a technology purchase (e.g. laptop charger) in MyPaymentsPlus, the District asks that you also put in a work ticket for it. This allows school building technicians to be aware of the purchase, so they can best support those students. Thank you!
- Ms. Kralik is in need of paper towel rolls for her QUEST classroom. If you are willing/able to donate, please send them in with your child. Ms. Kralik will have a container outside of her classroom to collect them!
