PTO President's Message

Dear Mills Families,

It's hard to believe 2017 is rapidly coming to an end.  It's been a challenging year for our nation, the world, and most likely for most of us on a personal level.  But even on the worst days, I am reminded that there are small victories in our lives ~ there are wonderful people in this world working to make great things happen.  And in our every day, there are small miracles we need to take time to appreciate: a sunset, our child telling us about their day, a family meal at the dining room table.  

Thank you again to those who have supported the PTO and our parent groups ~ we all greatly appreciate and need the support; we hope we can continue to count on it going into the new year.  I do hope that everyone gets the opportunity to recharge during the holidays.  Be safe, be well, and enjoy one another.  

Have a safe and happy Holidays!

Joy Pasamonte Henry
Mills PTO President
