College and Career Readiness starts Now! Mills Middle School AVID Scholars participated in college tours at University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR), University of Central Arkansas (UCA), and University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) this spring. Exposing and readying our scholars for college and careers is both an AVID and Comet Nation commitment. AVID's mission is to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college and career readiness and success in a global society. #millsmiddleschool #collegeandcareerreadiness #ualr #uapb #uca #avid #thebestisyettocome
A W.O.W Day at Mills Middle School
ROCKETS to the RESCUE with Dr. Varnel and AIMS
OBJECTIVE: Scholars will be able to design and build a prototype rocket that can travel at least 60 ft, considering the concepts of thrust, lift, drag, and weight.
Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures of these bottle rockets in the air, but they did take off and our scholars had a blast!

ATLAS PEP RALLY: This is how it began!
Comet Nation launched our spaceship for the ATLAS Summative galaxy on Monday! Our aim, -to go where no scholar has gone before.
At our Schoolwide launch the Mills Middle School band set the stage with "take off" music. We had examples of "how-to," and "how-not-to" be in the testing environment. Philander Smith College students of the fraternity Phi Beta Sigma ignited us with a few steps to celebrate when we take orbit. Our Comet Nation cheerleaders affirmed that "we can" and "will do it!" Our Comet Nation staff demonstrated what we do when show our growth on the ATLAS Summative by "putting our boots on the ground." And our PCCSD champion, Dr. Bell provided us with a mental mantra to ensure our success! A great uplifting time! #thebestisyettocome #atlassummative #peprally #millsmiddleschoolcomets #tothestars #wearethechampions
