PTA Family Feud Fun

At the general membership PTA meeting we plan to play Family Feud! We're trying to add some fun to our PTA Zoom meetings, and this month, it'll be a Family Feud game with a handful of teachers/staff. To play Family Feud, however, we need survey responses from your Mountain Lions! If you're willing to help, please fill out the following survey for each of your students.

We look forward to seeing you on January 31st!

Roaring Readers Coaches Needed!

For over 20 years, the beloved Roaring Readers volunteer program has been providing support for Mills students. The goal of Roaring Readers is to provide reading support for Kindergarten and 1st Grade students who need extra support outside of the classroom in a small group setting, in addition to their general classroom instruction.

If you are a parent, community member, grandparent, college student, and/or retired professional, please consider volunteering to be a Roaring Readers coach! No teaching experience is necessary and we will train you.

Interested? Fun and interactive in person training sessions will be offered on campus Jan 21st at 8am (Coach for Kinder students) & 1:30pm (Coach for 1st grade students) and again on Jan 28th at 8am (Coach for Kinder students) & 1:30pm (Coach for 1st grade students).

Please reach out to Tiffany Hicks (tiffany.hicks@austinisd.org) or Marcey French (marcey.french@austinisd.org) for more information about Roaring Readers. We hope that you will consider serving as a Roaring Readers volunteer coach!
