Programs that build pride in our School

ELI

Millgrove School is pleased to announce that our Early Literacy Intervention Program has started for term one of the 2010-2011 school year.  We have 21 keen participants who are eager to use their reading strategies to improve their reading ability! Mrs. Verhey would like to thank all parents for taking time to sit on the couch and listen to their children read each night.  This support at home, as well as in the classroom ensure reading success!  We're off to a great start!  Should you have any questions about the reading support program at Millgrove School, please contact Mrs. Verhey.  Happy Reading
