Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Kind
At Mill Valley Elementary, we take time to celebrate the amazing things classrooms are doing in places around our building. Each month we have an all school assembly called Golden Awards. Golden Awards recognize entire classrooms for demonstrating positive behaviors in areas such as the art room, lunchroom, bus and more.
Since we are the Mill Valley Wolves, each student at Mill Valley is part of a Wolf Den! When students start school at Mill Valley, they are assigned a Wolf Den color (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, or Purple) and they stay that color for all 5 years! Wolf Den colors work together each month to earn as many paw prints as they can! During the monthly Golden Awards the den color that has earned the most paw prints is recognized!
Another way we try to foster relationships at Mill Valley is through buddy packs. Two classrooms are paired together (often an older class and a younger class) and throughout the year they do activities together. This way students have connections with other students and staff in the building outside of their own classroom.
