Mill Creek Parent

My children love coming to school and have made new friends, built relationships with staff, and have gained new knowledge and skills. As parents, we love the communication and community events. It’s great to see staff outside of school and the kids enjoy these events. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to move them to Mill Creek!
