Mill Valley Weekly

Please join me in congratulating Robin Schrot on being selected as a recipient of the Herb Kohl Leadership Award.

Our very own Mrs. Schrot is 1 of only 12 public school principals in the state of Wisconsin to receive this recognition. This is one of the highest recognitions a Wisconsin principal can receive!

We all know and love Robin for her sparkly personality, can-do attitude, and outpouring of love for Mill Valley families, students, and staff! She is more than deserving of this recognition!

Congratulations, Robin!

Here is some information about the Leadership Award:

• The Leadership Award was established in 2016 to recognize outstanding Wisconsin principals in grades pre-K through 12.

• Leadership Award recipients are school principals who are being recognized for setting high standards for instruction, achievement and character, and creating a climate to best serve students, families, staff and community.

• Leadership Award recipients are selected by a statewide committee composed of civic leaders, and representatives of education-related associations and the program’s co-sponsors: The Wisconsin Newspaper Association Foundation, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Wisconsin Council of Religious and Independent Schools (WCRIS), regional Cooperative Educational Service Agencies (CESA), the Association of Wisconsin School Administrators, and the Wisconsin Parents Association.

Sincerely,

Allyce Harris, Associate Principal

This year, we are implementing a friendly Classroom Challenge to see how many students in our school will take the challenge to better their hearts! Top classes will be awarded bragging rights and some cool prizes. I would love to be a top class!

Can you do me a favor and register your student by using this link?! http://www2.heart.org/goto/MillValley Once registered, your student will choose a heart healthy goal, have access to Finn's Mission and more!

Your student can choose to...

• Move More
• Be Kind
• Choose Water over Sugary Drinks

As a thank you for signing up, your student will also get a free reminder wristband to help them remember to keep up their daily heart - healthy goal!

(Donations accepted through March 19th)

A group of fourth grade students are starting a book drive for Children's Hospital. We are accepting donations of NEW books that would make kids smile (again, new books ONLY).

Our goal is to donate 250 books! If we accomplish this goal, the principals have agreed to have an All School Glow Party in our classrooms.

There will be collection bins outside the library by the butterfly wall, one box per grade level.

If you have an area of passion you would like to share with students, please consider creating a short video. More information can be found in the flyer.
