June is Pride Month. Pride Month began as protests by LGBTQ people to confront discrimination in the fight for equality in the 1970s. Pride Month is an opportunity to show support and raise awareness about LGBTQ+ rights.

The Mills University Studies High School staff participated in the Biggest Loser for the past few years after being inspired by JC Comet and his wife Becky. Last year, the staff had a close run at it. Thanks to Nurse  Malinda Berthia who always  shares medical and health news with us all. In addition, happy Nurse's Appreciation Week. Last year Ms. Vickie Jackson and Ms. Treniece Clemmons ran away with the challenge. Ms. Clemmons was the outright winner by less than a pound, but today both are still going strong. Do not forget Mrs. Andrea Johnson, vice principal and many others who are on the journey to wellness. Great job everyone!
