McMillan Elementary PTA

Hello,  McMillan Community! Tomorrow, Tuesday November 11th, we will be celebrating and honoring the Veterans' of the United States Armed Forces and would love to honor any veterans that are part of your family! Our assembly begins at 9:30 am in the McMillan Elementary multi-purpose room (Cafeteria, Gym, Auditorium).  All students attend and participate in the program.  It is usually an hour long and features essays written and read by students at McMillan, songs from each grade level, and a slideshow presentation. While only families escorting Veterans are invited to attend (or if your student has been selected to read their essay), ALL students are encouraged to wear Red, White, and/or Blue to help create a patriotic atmosphere.  We truly appreciate, respect, and honor the brave men and women who have served to preserve our freedom as Americans.   Happy Veteran's Day!

 November is Native American Heritage Month! This month, we celebrate and honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Native American and Indigenous peoples across the United States. At McMillan, we believe that learning about and respecting all cultures helps our students grow as curious, compassionate, and inclusive learners. Throughout November, consider exploring stories, traditions, art, and community connections that highlight the incredible diversity and strength of Native American heritage. Why It Matters Native American Heritage Month reminds us of the importance of listening, learning, and showing gratitude for the cultures that have shaped our land and history. When students learn about Native American communities, they also learn about respect, stewardship, family, and the importance of belonging.
