The 17th Annual Beyond Awareness at McMillin on Thursday, February 6th. At this event, we celebrate diversity at its best. Community members, with a variety of abilities, come to our school and share the message that even though their differing ability may be the first thing you notice, it is not what defines them as a person. Our hope is that our students will take what they have learned through this experience, to help make the world a better place.
We are still seeking volunteers to check in presenters, set up for the event, escort presenters around campus, prepare and serve lunch, assist presenters as needed, and clean up. If you are interested in volunteering, you may sign up at http://bit.ly/beyondawarness20.
Our McMillin students who are learning English as their second language will be starting to take the ELPAC next week. The testing window is open from now until just before Spring Break. Students are assessed in four domains:
- Reading
- Writing
- Listening
- Speaking
