Lost & Found Coat Rack
Has your child been missing their jacket or sweater for a while? Well, it's probably on our coat rack!
We have had some cold mornings and hot afternoons, which means a lot of students are taking off their outer layers at recess and leaving them outside.
Please encourage your child to check our Lost & Found Coat Rack if they have misplaced an item of clothing.

| Car Safety |
|
 Pick Up & Drop Off Reminders
The safety of our students and the success of drop off and pick up depends on all members of the Mill Falls Community following the steps we have mapped out.
Recently, we have seen repeated instances of parents parking their cars and getting out with their child, others who pull away before the car(s) in front of them are moving, and others letting their children off right at the sidewalk, instead of filling in the semi-circle.
We thank you all in advance for keeping our kiddos safe by driving extra safely and thoughtfully while on campus.
Someone else dropping off or picking up your child? Please make sure to explain the process to them!

Me & My Shadow
This week, some of our Lower Elementary friends studied the impact of Earth's rotation on the seasons and then headed outside to trace their shadows.
Pumpkin Lab
This week our Kinder students concluded their Pumpkin Study with help from some of their Upper Elementary friends. Together the students, large and small, drew and described their pumpkins, predicted the number of seeds inside and the diameter and weight of the seasonal fruit they were studying. Guided by their older lab assistants, the Kinder students then weighed, measured and gutted the pumpkins to measure the accuracy of their predictions.

MTA's School Bus Coloring Contest
In late October, the Manchester Transit Authority visited Mill Falls to teach our students about school bus safety.
During these presentations, the students participated in a district-wide School Bus Coloring Contest! There were 2 winners, one for grades K-2 and one for grades 3-5. Both winners were Mill Falls Students! Congratulations to our own Prakriti & Fthia!
