Congratulations to our team of students that came in 2nd place in the statewide Stock Market Game project for the 24-25 school year! Adrienne Hernandez Fox, Raelynn Coronado, Bentley Sierra and Sebastian Grijalva have been invited to the Arizona Council for Economic Education (ACEE) Learning to Save and Invest Student Awards Ceremony at Midwestern University in Glendale on May 10.

The Stock Market Game is a project-based learning educational simulation where students manage a virtual portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds, using a hypothetical $100,000, to learn about investing and financial markets. It's a program that aims to teach about the American economic system and global economy, while also developing skills in areas like math, research, and critical thinking.
 

Our kindergarten bunnies 🐰 hopped like crazy as they hunted for 26 eggs each. All our bunnies had an eggstraordinarily awesome time!

Our February Mustangs of the Month and 3rd grade teacher team got to spend the day with Tucson International Airport police! Thank you, James and our very own Mrs. Clayborne for creating such an amazing experience and partnership.

We would like to thank the many families who attended MOVIE 🎥 NIGHT! It was a full house! We hope you enjoyed the evening with your family and friends. 

Our 5th grade Mustangs embarked on a life-changing adventure; they hiked and explored the breathtaking Sonoran Desert. They were inspired by the ever-knowledgeable staff of Camp Cooper guiding them every step of the way.

Miller Elementary took 80 Rockstar and Mustang of the Month students to the rodeo on Feb. 17! Many students had never been before, and they got to watch the ropers, learned about cowboys and enjoyed the rodeo grounds.

Tucson Values Teachers announced the finalists for the ninth annual Raytheon Leaders in Education Award. The award recognizes and rewards Pima County teachers of grades PreK-12 for exceptional commitment to the education of youth, leadership within their communities, and supporting peers in a collaborative teacher workforce. Miller is proud to have one of our talented teachers as a finalist this year. Congratulations to Holly Wright!
