Last week, we had our first all-school assembly this week. A huge thank you to the Marsh Family Band for sharing your incredible musical talents with us. And, thank you to Mid-Columbia Community Concerts for providing this grant-funded musical performance at Mill A School District.

Tomorrow is Bobcat Pride Friday!
Every Friday, students can earn a classroom Bobcat Pride point for wearing blue and yellow. Points are tallied for each class and the points can be redeemed for classroom rewards.
Mill A PTO has a little store near the school office with a variety of Bobcat colored items to help students show their Bobcat Pride. Currently there are some MAS t-shirts, a variety of blue and yellow colored t-shirts, blue and yellow scrunchies, necklaces, etc. We try to make it easy for you to get a few essential items and a few fun items for your students.



We had such a great first day!
