The M.L. Day Pride Report

Dear families and friends of MLD,

What a spooktacular day we had at Mildred L. Day! Our hallways were filled with superheroes, princesses, dinosaurs, monsters, and some of the most creative costumes we have ever seen. The smiles, giggles, and pure joy on our students’ faces made it a day to remember. Thank you for helping make it so special for your children.

A heartfelt thank you to our families for following our guidelines for safe, school-appropriate costumes. Because of your care and attention, we had no costume-related incidents today. Everyone could focus on the fun. We truly appreciate your partnership!

We were overwhelmed by the community support for this year’s Halloween Parade. It was standing room only! Our students beamed as they marched past so many cheering family members, friends, and neighbors. Thank you for turning out and showing our children how much they are loved and celebrated.

Special Thanks go out to:

• Our Allied Arts Team for hosting today’s festivities with such energy and creativity
• Officer Drew for his presentation on Halloween safety. Our students learned important tips for staying safe while trick-or-treating this weekend.

At last month’s Community Meeting, Mrs. Soule’s class won our Class Game. Their prize was a celebration filled with BINGO and fun prizes. Congratulations, Mrs. Soule’s class! Today, Mrs. Francis' class won a Teacher vs. Student game - an event we will all be looking forward to.

YOUR VOICE MATTERS: RSU 21 PARENT SURVEY

We invite all families to take part in the RSU 21 Parent Survey.

Your feedback is incredibly important to us. We rely on this data to review our programs and practices. Your input directly shapes the decisions we make for our students as we continue our path of continuous improvement. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts. We are listening!

Students in Grades 3–5 will also take a student version of the survey during the coming week. Their perspectives are just as valuable as yours, and we look forward to learning from them.

We wish everyone a safe, happy, and treat-filled Halloween weekend!

Reminder: Daylight saving time ends this weekend. Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour before bed on Saturday night. Enjoy the extra hour of sleep!

With gratitude,

The M.L. Day Community
