Hello! It is hard to believe that we are nearing the end of September. Students have been hard at work these past few weeks on learning the school routines, completing assessments, and acquiring new skills. We are excited for all of the learning experiences ahead for our students.
If you have not yet, please consider becoming a member of our Asbury PTA. Joining the PTA is an easy way to support future school events. You can join the PTA and support their Halloween Raffle here.
Our Reflections Program is accepting submissions until the end of October. Please consider having your child participate in this PTA sponsored program. Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-created theme. The theme this year is “What My Culture Means to Me.” Please visit www.pta.org/reflections for more information.
As part of our wellness initiative, we are looking for students eating red fruit and veggies during lunchtime. Each student who earns a ticket has the opportunity to win a free book from our vending machine.
All students are eligible to receive a free school breakfast and lunch this year. We encourage you to complete the application at www.schoolcafe.com to help our school qualify for additional funding.
Please continue to use the Infinite Campus Parent Portal any time your student misses school, arrives late, or leaves early. You can also email mtsdattendance@mtsd.org with the date and reason.
We encourage you to visit our website at asb.mtsd.org for all updated school information. You may also call the school at (814) 836-6100 with any questions. We are happy to help. Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Katie Lackey, Principal
Carol Elliott, Assistant Principal

Our Title 1 program encourages family engagement activities. Families get to be a part of their child’s classroom by signing up to read during their child’s library time.
As part of the upcoming renovations to the McDowell Athletic Complex (MAC), a new paver plaza is being planned for the stadium entrance. The Gus Anderson Legacy Plaza will feature engraved pavers that are now available to purchase and customize! All purchases support the renovations, which include necessary updates to the track, bleachers, addition of visitor bathrooms, turf drainage and more.
Leave your mark on the MAC and purchase a paver in honor of an alumni, your graduating class, or yourself! Purchase a paver or make a general donation here: Sponsorships & Naming Rights Opportunities
Curious why the renovations to the MAC are needed? Or where the funding is coming from? Or what the cost breakdown is? Find answers to all these questions at: Millcreek Township School District
