Sending Money to School

When sending lunch money to school, please enclose the money in an envelope with the following information on the front:

First and Last Name, Mills - Kinder, Date, Lunch, and Amount

Spirit Cart Money, Popcorn and Cookie Money, and Lunch Money should all be in separate envelopes (each of these go to different people.)

Handwriting

I am so proud of all of the students!  They are working very hard on their handwriting.  Please continue to encourage your child to follow the rules of handwriting during his or her homework.
