Dear Mills Middle School Parents,
We hope this message finds you well. We are writing to address some recent miscommunication regarding the activities planned for Spirit Week, taking place from October 21-25.

We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused. Our aim is always to ensure clear and accurate communication with all our parents and students.
If you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to your continued support in making Spirit Week an enjoyable experience for all our students.
