Millwood School

This morning we had several special presentations during our latest Lower School Monday Morning Meeting. Today's meeting was hosted by students from our 2nd grade. We started the meeting off by hearing from our junior kindergarten classes who presented on their recent unit on cows. Dressed in "cow" attire, the students each spoke to a full audience of their peers and parents. Wonderfully done students! Later we heard from Mrs. Thompson as she recognized several 3rd grade students on their achievements in shining large in the recent IXL Heifer Challenge. Awesome job. Finally, we heard from our Lower School Leadership Club which meets weekly to focus on the goals of welcoming new students and families to Millwood among other skills. Let's make it a great week - the final week of April! #millwoodmagic
