Kelly Mill Family,
What a wonderful week at Kelly Mill! Our school was full of love, appreciation, and gratitude as Valentine’s celebrations were in full swing. It was a joy to see the kindness, friendship, and positive energy shared throughout our classrooms.
We hope your family enjoys the extended break. There will be no school on Monday, February 16th in observance of Presidents Day, and Tuesday, February 17th is a Professional Learning Day for our staff.
This dedicated time allows our teachers and staff to learn, collaborate, and grow professionally so they can continue providing the very best learning experiences for our students. Investing in our learning helps us better support the growth and success of every Colt.
We hope you enjoy the long weekend, spend time doing what you love, and we look forward to welcoming students back on Wednesday, February 18th!
Be sure to take time to rest, recharge, and relax with those you love!
Love,
Mrs. Moity
