Mill Creek Elementary School

A total of 114 books were read by students at Mill Creek Elementary during the Read Georgia Summer Reading Challenge sponsored by First Baptist Church Statesboro! There were 17 students who participated in the challenge, but only 7 students read and logged 5 or more books. Congratulations to Brysen Williams for winning the $100 giveaway in the MCES drawing. Other students who read and logged 5 or more books were Cadey Burrell, Jackson Anderson, London Brown, Matilda Gray, Ozzie Rhodes, and Rachel Thompson.

The hallways are full of life again, and we couldn’t be more excited to start a brand-new school year! Whether you’re stepping through our doors for the very first time or returning as a familiar face, this year is full of new possibilities, big dreams, and endless opportunities to learn and grow.
Check out some of our first day smiles in the photos.

We can’t wait to see all of our Mustangs tomorrow morning for the first day of school. Doors open at 7:15.

📢Important Announcement📢
As we prepare to begin a new school year at Mill Creek Elementary School, we want to let families know about a change that affects our morning drop-off routine. To prioritize student safety and supervision, our school will not open the school doors for students to enter until 7:15 a.m. each day.

Students who arrive before 7:15 a.m. must remain in their cars until our staff begin opening car doors. Students who arrive on buses will also remain on the bus until 7:15 a.m., and then they will be unloaded and may enter the building. The tardy bell will ring at 7:50 a.m.

This change is consistent with most other elementary schools in our district. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school.

We look forward to seeing you at Open House and on the first day of school, August 3.

Here’s news you can use. Keep reading Mustangs, and when you do, use the link in the comments to log each book you read.
