We're still talking about our culminating Hispanic Heritage Month celebration at Comet Nation. This year we experienced Hispanic culture through dance with Mexican Folklorico dancers, through music with Mariacha America band, and the Mills Middle School band playing, and through academic achievement recognizing scholars who tested out of the English Language Development Program! A Big "thank you" to Mr. Maglione Comet Nation's English Language Learner teacher!

Our Mills Middle School ESOL students took learning beyond the classroom today with a field trip to the Delta Rivers Nature Center!

Students explored Arkansas wildlife, learned about native habitats, and even got the chance to touch an alligator! It was a fun, hands-on day full of discovery, new experiences, and memories!

Mills Middle School students took to the football field today for a hands-on career exploration experience with the MedFlight team! They toured the helicopter, asked the flight crew questions, and learned about the Mills High School Health Science Pathway opportunities from current students. #ExpectBelieveSucceed

We at Comet Nation know that being "on-time" is a life skill that opens doors.

Congratulations, Comets!
