🤝📚 Adopt-a-Classroom Connection Continues!
Our third graders were excited to welcome back their high school mentors for another meaningful Adopt-a-Classroom visit this week!
During this visit, high school students continued sharing their post–high school plans—whether college, career pathways, or other future goals—and took time to talk with younger students about what those journeys might look like. 🎓✨
These conversations are helping our third graders begin to imagine their own futures while building confidence, curiosity, and big dreams for what comes next.
We are so grateful for these powerful connections between students and the opportunity for learning to extend beyond the classroom walls. 💛

Kindergarten students in Ms. L’s room are stepping into the role of published authors! ✏️📚

🎭✨ A Cultural Experience for Third Grade!
Our third grade students recently enjoyed a special trip to the Waterville Opera House for a wonderful cultural experience!
While there, students had the opportunity to watch a live performance of The Little Prince, bringing this beloved story to life right before their eyes. From the excitement of the stage to the beauty of the historic theater, it was a truly memorable experience.
Opportunities like this help deepen students’ understanding of storytelling while exposing them to the arts in an engaging and meaningful way.
A special thank you to our PTG for helping make this incredible experience possible! 💛✨

Mill Stream was buzzing with excitement this week as our first graders hosted their very own Market Place! 🛍️
Students brought their learning to life by applying their knowledge of goods, services, and resources in a hands-on, real-world experience. They designed and created their own unique products, carefully priced them to sell, and developed eye-catching marketing signs to attract customers.
Kindergarten and second grade students had a blast shopping, while our first graders practiced important skills like decision-making, communication, and entrepreneurship.
It was incredible to see their creativity, teamwork, and pride shine through in every booth. What a fun and meaningful way to learn!
