Welcome Back McMillin Families: Quarter 2 Happenings
I hope you had a wonderful break and were able to spend time with your family. I did a lot of hiking and reading. My two favorite things. One book that I have been reading is called The Gardener and the Carpenter by Alison Gopnik. I wish I would have read it when my kids were young. You may like it. It has to do with two different philosophies of raising children. One is to build and design a child’s growth and understand and the other is to tend and nurture a child’s growth and understanding. -Mrs. Orr
Welcome back, McMillin Families! I am so excited to see all of our students back at school – I have missed seeing their faces each morning! I hope that you were able to spend time with family and friends over the past two weeks. I was fortunate to travel with my family, spending a great deal of time out in nature, soaking up its beauty! Here’s to a great Quarter 2! -Mrs. Sutton
School resumes tomorrow, October 8th and is a regular day!
This Thursday, we will be hosting a Mindfulness Lunch for all students here at McMillin! Our purpose for this lunch is to bring attention to the noise level that happens at our lunch tables. All week, students will be reviewing what it means to be mindful, how we can apply that to our lunch area and our school expectations of being safe, respectful and responsible. On Thursday, soft music will play while the students eat. Our goal is not to have the students do this indefinitely, but rather one day, so that they can see how different their lunch experience can be. We hope that through our work together, the lunch time for all of our students will improve and be an enjoyable one! Thank you for your support!
