Good Afternoon,
I hope this message finds you well and warm during these winter months.
Recently, some community members and students may have noticed a county sheriff's vehicle at Mill A School District over the past couple of days. I want to reassure you that everything is fine and there were no safety concerns or incidents. Law enforcement was present to support a community member in a private matter.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kelly Stickel
Superintendent/Principal

What: Students bring in non-perishable food to collect for donation. Also accepted are brand-new, unopened household supplies, diapers, wipes, toiletries, and anything else that might be helpful for folks during this time of the year.
Where: Students bring items to their classrooms.
Prize: PCIA and MAS will compete to collect the most items. The school that collects the most items by the end of the week, Friday 11/22, will win a DONUT PARTY!!

A friendly reminder: today is Early Release Wednesday.

Mrs. Birney and her K-2 students started a poster to honor and thank our veterans. Throughout the week, students and staff have been adding names of family and friends who have served in the armed forces.
We want to express our gratitude and respect to all those who served our country.
The Mill A area is currently without power including the Mill A School District.
At this time we are able to operate on emergency power and daylight. We will have regular dismissal for MAS K-8 and PCIA.

Our 3-5 classes recently read I Survived the Titanic, which inspired us to build our very own boats! A special thanks to Mr. Dyer for providing the foam that sparked our creativity this week.
We got very cold and frosty today in Mill A, which made for a chilly morning recess for all.
Parents, it might be a good time to tuck a pair of gloves and a hat in your child's backpack. We want everyone to be safe and warm!
We are so fortunate that our campus has a hiking path in our "Little Forest". Our teachers frequently take their students for walks in there.
