🧹💙 Today we’re celebrating the people who work behind the scenes to keep Millbrook clean, safe, and looking its best!
Happy National Custodian Day to our AMAZING custodial team—Ms. Linda, Ms. April, Mr. Randy, and Mr. Quinshawn! We appreciate the long hours, hard work, and all the little things you do every single day to take care of our school and our Millbrook family.
Be sure to see one of our custodians today and give them a BIG thank you! A simple “thank you” goes a long way. 💙
We appreciate you more than you know! 🫶
#MillbrookPRIDE #GoColts #NationalCustodianDay #ThankYou
We are SO close to reaching our $20,000 Boosterthon goal, and we cannot thank our Millbrook families, friends, and supporters enough for all of the donations and encouragement! 💙
Tomorrow is all about celebrating and having FUN! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Parents are welcome to come cheer on their students! Please remember to park at Millbrook Baptist Church, walk over, and check in at the front office for a visitor badge. Our back parking lot will be closed for the event.
🍧 Pelican’s will be on-site, and every Millbrook student will receive ONE FREE Pelican!
🍂 And apparently, Mother Nature decided it’s finally fall! Tomorrow should actually feel a little more like fall, so jackets may be needed… but hats and sunglasses are always fun! 😎🧢
Check out the flyer for all the details, and get ready to CELEBRATE, COLTS!
💙 LET’S FINISH STRONG! 🐎

✨ A few important reminders for parents:
👓 If your child wears glasses, please make sure they wear their glasses to school that day.
📝 Do NOT want your child screened? Please send a note with your student no later than Tuesday, October 13th requesting that they not participate.
📬 What happens if a potential vision concern is detected? Parents will be notified through a referral letter recommending a comprehensive follow-up eye exam with an optometrist or ophthalmologist.
A screening is not a diagnosis, but it can help identify students who may benefit from further evaluation. This letter will be sent home within several weeks after the screening.
The Aiken Lions Club vision screening program is designed to help identify potential vision concerns and connect families with appropriate follow-up care.
For more information about the Lions vision screening program, visit: https://lionsvisionscreening.com/
Thank you, Aiken Lions Club, for supporting the vision and success of our Millbrook students! 👀🦁💙💛
📅 Testing Dates: October 13, 14, 15, 20 & 21
Families, please help your child feel ready by making sure they:
🥣 Start the day with a healthy breakfast
⏰ Arrive at school by 7:30 a.m.

Please review the flyers below for more information about the assessments. Additional letters and brochures will also be sent home this week.

Investing in Our Students. Supporting Our Schools. Building Possibilities.
We are incredibly grateful to SRP Federal Credit Union for investing in the future of our elementary students and educators through its new Investing in Education: Unlimited Possibilities initiative.
At the kickoff event held at the WOW! Club at, SRP Park in North Augusta, SRP Federal Credit Union announced that 83 schools across 10 CSRA counties will each receive $2,500 representing a remarkable $207,500 total investment in local elementary education.
This generous support gives our principals the flexibility to respond to the unique needs of their schools — whether that means providing instructional resources, creating hands-on learning experiences, supporting teachers, or offering enriching opportunities for students.
“This investment empowers our principals to respond directly to the unique needs of their schools and create meaningful opportunities through instructional resources, hands-on learning, and enrichment experiences," Dr. Charlene Heard, Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Schools said.
Partnerships like this remind us what is possible when our schools and community come together with a shared commitment to student success. We are proud to have SRP Federal Credit Union investing alongside us and helping create unlimited possibilities for our students!
