Jan 19-23

AwarenesslogoEach year McMillin participates in what I believe is one of the most important exercises of empathy and acceptance, Ability Awareness Day. After spending this past Monday honoring the accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I think it’s fantastic that our students and the community have a chance to continue building on Dr. King’s dream where equity and faith in your fellow man is at the forefront of how we treat each other. Ability Awareness began at McMillin with our very own kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Diana Carson. Mrs. Carson believes by teaching today’s children and youth about disability from a perspective of dignity, respect, appreciation, and inclusion, we will create future generations that honor and appreciate differences and offer respectful opportunities and supports to people so that they are included within their communities. This year our Ability Awareness Day will land on Wednesday, Jan 21. We invite the entire McMillin community to come out and listen to the various guests that will be here talking to our students.

Kickball Parent Meeting

Mix It Up Lunch Day Thursday Jan 23

welcome-back-to-school-sign-580x444Welcome Back Everyone! My apologies for my tardiness in having my blog ready for you, I suppose I should add this to my list of resolutions for the new year 🙂 The start of the 3rd quarter started out with a bang! We added 16 students to our roster and there were even more students that unfortunately will need to be overflowed to another nearby school until a space opens up. As of last count we had 899 students! Obviously our fantastic school has a great reputation and we’re excited to welcome our new families, as well as welcome back our veterans 🙂

Team Sports
We’re so excited to welcome back the addition of soccer to our team sports. This year Mr. Chumbley (1st grade teacher) and Mr. Robinson (parent) will be leading our teams. Please click on the links below for more information:

Also if anyone has any leads on good pricing for soccer goals and equipment please let us know. Thank you

Traffic
I want to thank everyone for all their support on making our new traffic procedures a resounding success. As most of you know we now have a new pick-up area, located on our blacktop. Please remember to talk to your child and let them know to meet you in the pick-up area. Also we remind you that if students aren’t picked up within 15 min after the dismissal bell they will be walked to the front of the school.

Contact Information
We’re asking all families to please make sure we have your most current contact information. Often people change their phone numbers and email addresses, but we must have a way to contact you in case of an emergency. If you recently changed your contact information please contact Mrs. Georgina Huezo at 619 397-0103 or georgina.huezo@cvesd.org with the correct updates.
