Cardinal Connection
Milroy Elementary News - October 18, 2024
Notes From Mrs. Wilson
I can't believe it's the end of October already! I hope you all take some time during Fall Break to relax and spend time with family!
Our Veteran's Day Program will be at 1:30 on November 11th. This is a change in time due to scheduling conflicts. Our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders will be singing and our Cardinal Council will be in charge of the program. Please invite any Veterans to attend! We will be raising money for a "Flag Garden" for our Veterans. If you'd like to sponsor an American Flag for $1.00, please send the money in and we will place a flag for you. The money collected from the flags will be donated to the Rush County Veterans Memorial Association. Thank you for your support!
