Mill Pond Elementary
April 2026
Hello, Spring!
Dear Families,
Can you believe it is already April? As the flowers begin to bloom, it is the perfect time to pause and reflect on the incredible journey our students have been on this year.
It is truly inspiring to see the amazing gains our Little lions have made. Whether it’s their physical coordination on the playground, their growing emotional resilience, the beautiful way they’ve developed socially with their peers, or their impressive academic leaps—there is so much to celebrate!
If you recall, I mentioned in the beginning of the year that you would be surprised at how quickly the year would pass. We are in the home stretch, as they say, of the end of this 25-26 school year. Wow!
However, there is still plenty to look forward to. Our PTA continues to work tirelessly, planning events for our students to enjoy. Our parents are amazing! Thank you for always stepping in to help, volunteer, and support us!
While we are entering the home stretch, we aren't done yet! We still have lots of exciting events planned before the school year wraps up. Keep an eye on your calendar so you don't miss a moment of the fun.
I also want to extend a huge thank you for the extraordinary support you have shown us. From volunteering at our classroom parties to cheering the kids on during special events, your involvement is what makes our school community so special. We couldn’t do this without you.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us every day. Let’s make these final months the best ones yet!
Go Lions!
Mrs. Donohue
