RECENT HAPPENINGS:
On January 16, 2013, Mill Run co-hosted Dr. Suzanne Nixon for our annual Parent Workshop with Hillside Elementary School. Nearly 30 parents attended! Dr. Nixon worked with parents on developing happy, healthy families through the creation of a family mission statement utilizing techniques created by Stephen Covey. We recieved lots of positive feedback from parents who attended, in fact, all that responded to our evaluation were so pleased, they said they would definitely attend future workshops offered at Mill Run! Please contact Ms. Fulkerson or Ms. Kovach if you have a topic idea or presenter recommendation for our next parent workshop. Workshop Brochure.
