Dear Families,
A huge thank you to Janae DeRose for organizing and leading our awesome Halloween party. It was a blast! Also, a big thank you to our fabulous volunteers: Stephanie Hix, Megan Norris, Katie Hartz, and Steph Kafoury. Check out these fun photos: Halloween Party 2025
It was wonderful to connect and discuss your child’s academic and social emotional growth during our conference. I feel very lucky to have such an amazing group of students and incredibly supportive parents. Thank you! If you took home your child’s portfolio, please have your child return it to school next week. Thank you.

This October, join us in helping the families at The Bethlehem Inn. The Bethlehem Inn offers transition housing and job opportunities for adults and families in Central Oregon. At this time of the year, they can use lots of warm clothes and supplies for the cold weather ahead. One thing they really need is socks. Here’s where you come in! We are collecting new and “gently used” socks. They can be socks for babies, young kids, teens or adults. Please bring your sock donations to Miller and look for the “Socktober” boxes in the front and the back of the school by November 5. Thank you.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Warmly,
Kenan
