Mills Middle School Rising 6th grade Feeder School Transition Camp and AVID Excel Summer Bridge enjoyed a wonderful college, career, and storm tracker talk with Fox 16 News, Chief Meteorologist, Joel Young. Scholars learned how Young's interest in the weather in college led to his career as a meteorologist. They also learned that the antidote to being afraid of tornadoes and storms is to be prepared. A big thank you to Hiland Dairy for surprising our scholars with ice cream. A great inspiring day was had at Comet Nation today! #fox16news #stormtracker #joelyoung #collegeandcareer #hilanddairy #icecream #millsmiddleschoolcomets
