Message from Mrs. Moity
Kelly Mill Family,
We had another great week at Kelly Mill! We wrapped up our West Community service project collecting toiletries, and we want to thank everyone who generously donated. Your kindness and support make a real difference.
If you would still like to donate, there is still time to shop. We will be collecting items on Monday from 10–11 AM at Vickery Creek Elementary. If you feel drawn to serve, you are welcome to join us as we sort and prepare items for delivery to the organizations. We are already looking forward to our next opportunity to serve and support our community and district together.
We also want to share that the DLI application process is now open for rising Kindergarten students. Please help us spread the word to friends and local families who may be interested in this unique opportunity at Kelly Mill.
As we head into a long weekend honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we are reminded of the power of service, community, and the belief that each of us can make a positive impact. We hope you enjoy the time with your family, and we look forward to seeing everyone back next week.
Be sure to take time to rest, recharge, and relax with those you love!
Love,
Mrs. Moity
