We have a fun-filled month planned for our Miller Eagles! As we continue our journey Around the World in 180 Days, our theme this month is “Eagles Uplift Each Other: Respect, Stand Tall, Fly High, and Say No to Bullying!” Throughout the month, we will focus on the importance of kindness, respect, inclusion, and standing up for ourselves and others. We want every Eagle to feel safe, valued, and supported as we work together to create a positive school community where everyone can SOAR!

We are kicking off the month this Monday by asking all students and staff to wear blue to Stand Up to Bullying! Wearing blue is a great way to show our commitment to kindness, friendship, and making Miller School a place where bullying has no place.

We have so many exciting activities and events planned for our students this month! Our Eagles will participate in the National Anthem Project, celebrate students being inducted into Safety Patrol, and enjoy School Picture Day and our much-anticipated Book Fair. We will also recognize Red Ribbon Week, promoting the importance of making healthy, safe, and positive choices.

As always, we appreciate your continued partnership and support. When families and school staff work together, we help our Eagles build strong relationships, develop compassion for others, and grow into confident, respectful leaders. Thank you for helping us reinforce these important values at home and in our community.

Let’s make it a wonderful month of kindness, friendship, and school pride. Remember, Miller Eagles stand tall, fly high, and uplift each other!  Together We S.O.A.R.!

Resepectfully,

Miller School is currently reading! Teachers, counselors, paraprofessionals, and school nurses alike are all displaying the book title that they are currently reading. Staff will update the titles they are reading throughout the school year. These signs are displayed outside of classrooms and offices for all of the students to see how our Miller staff reads! We hope to foster a love of reading and literacy within our Miller students. Keep up the reading!

This week, our Fifth Grade students participated in a Fishbowl Discussion exploring connections between Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Students shared ideas about how the characters’ experiences relate to important human rights, including fairness, equality, safe working conditions, reasonable housing, and the right to be treated with dignity and respect. Through thoughtful discussion and active listening, students (including students pictured here from Miss Elwell’s Class) strengthened their ability to support their ideas with evidence and make meaningful connections between literature and the real world.

✊ Learning in Action: Our Peaceful Student Strike! As part of our Esperanza Rising unit, students explored workers’ rights and how people come together to advocate for change. To bring our learning to life, students from Ms. Ricciardi’s and Ms. Scalley’s classes participated in a peaceful student strike, sharing changes they would like to see in our school. From extra recess and field trips to homework and technology, students worked together to create signs, share their ideas, and practice respectful advocacy. It was a fun and meaningful way to connect our reading to real-life concepts while learning that every voice matters!

Congratulations to our Student Council Representatives that were elected by their peers for the 2026-2027 school year! Our Student Council program aims to develop leadership skills and teach our students how to be a voice in their school community. Our Class Reps will represent the student body by meeting monthly to discuss goals and ideas that they would like to bring to Miller! 

SOARing Beyond The Classroom

We are excited to launch a new initiative at Miller that celebrates the amazing accomplishments our students achieve outside of school! Our students are involved in so many meaningful activities in our community, and we want to recognize those moments that reflect dedication, perseverance, leadership, and growth.

This recognition is intended for significant accomplishments, achievements, or awards—such as earning a notable honor or being recognized by an organization, team, or program. Please fill out the SOARING FORM form below by the end of the month for the student to be recognized the following month.

Selected accomplishments will be highlighted on our TVs located throughout the building to help us celebrate our students’ hard work and successes. Thank you for partnering with us to lift up these special moments and help our Eagles continue to soar!
