Mill Pond Elementary

🍀 March 2025 🍀

March is upon us, Mill Pond Families!

The best part of March is knowing that we are soon to spring forward! Warmer weather is on the horizon.

There are so many things to look forward to! We are officially closer to the end of the year rather than the beginning…I can’t even believe it! All our Mill Pond students have grown by leaps and bounds while continuing to work hard and show us all their new skills.

This time will begin to move even faster, and before we blink an eye, the time will come to welcome their next big adventure. Parents, take a deep breath and know that your children have made great strides to be ready for this event in their lives. Just like spring flowers, our students are forever blooming in creativity, academics, and maturity.

Go Lions!
