Dear Parents and Guardians:

Our Speech and Language Professional, Mrs. A. Nixdorf, will be available all day on Thursday, March 12 during the celebration of learning to meet with parents to discuss the speech and language program.

Despite acknowledging that complexity and composition of our classrooms is challenging, government remains unwilling to provide adequate support for students across the province.

As a result, the Teachers’ Bargaining Committee will be implementing sanctions beginning Thursday, March 12, 2020.

We are now accepting registrations for kindergarten 2020-2021.  If you have a child who will turn 5 before December 31, 2020 and who was born in Canada, you can register for kindergarten at Ethel Milliken School!  If your child was not born in Canada, you will need to make an appointment at the Newcomer Welcome Centre 306 352-5775 and they will process your registration there!

Please stop by the office to get your registration package.  All registered kindergarten families will receive information about kindergarten orientation in the spring.

Ethel Milliken is so excited to be hosting Family Golf Night! This event is free and available to all students grade k-8 and their families. It will take place in the Milliken Gym April 9 from 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. Registration forms will be sent home with all students.  Please complete and return the form in order to participate.  More information can be found by visiting www.reginakidsgolf.com

Tomorrow is pink shirt day.  Wear your pink shirt and remember to be kind, don't be a bystander and stand up to bullying!

Now a movement celebrated across the globe, Pink Shirt Day has humble beginnings. Inspired by an act of kindness in small-town Nova Scotia, CKNW Kids' Fund, working with partners Boys & Girls Clubs and 980 CKNW, was inspired to raise funds to support anti-bullying programs. Here is a snippet of an article detailing the original incident:

The Ethel Milliken SCC will be hosting a Frozen II movie night on Thursday, March 5.  Doors open at 6:00 p.m. movie begins at 6:30. All children MUST be accompanied by an adult. The SCC will be sending pre-order forms home this week.  Families can pre-order movie tickets, popcorn, pizza, candy bags and water and pay at the door.  Pre-order forms are due back Tuesday, March 3; they are for ordering only, payment will be made at the movie night!

This week is Staff Appreciation Week!  Our SCC is busy spoiling the staff at Ethel Milliken School! Take the time to let your teachers, EA's, Admin assistant, caretaker and all other staff know how amazing they are!
