Mills Middle School

Two weeks down and our Mills Middle School comets are building relationships with their teachers and each other and solidifying the foundations for a successful school year. Pictured here is Mr. Boaitey's class where scholars are conducting partner interviews, Ms. Hill's class where scholars are deciphering clues as history detectives, Ms. Riordan's class where scholars are collaborating to build the highest tower, and Ms. Vail's class readying for a subject beachball toss. #buildingconnections #avidstrategies #wewin #millsmiddleschoolcomets
