New school opens doors for refugee students in Mill Creek
Kathy Clark, a long-serving member of the Utah International Charter School Board, announced the school's upcoming relocation to Mill Creek Elementary during a recent government meeting. The school, which serves approximately 250 refugee students, aims to provide tailored educational support, including English language learning and a rigorous academic curriculum. Clark expressed gratitude for the assistance received from Mayor Silva Streeni, who facilitated the move after a meeting with a delegation of students and school officials.

The school is set to open its doors in Mill Creek on Monday, with a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony planned. Clark extended an invitation to local council members to attend and welcome the school to the community, emphasizing their commitment to being good neighbors.

In addition to the school announcement, Laura Renshaw, manager of the Mill Creek Branch Library, provided updates on library activities. She reported a successful summer reading program with over 4,000 participants, an increase from the previous year. Renshaw also highlighted the library's new initiative to combat seasonal depression by adding \"happy lights\" to their collection, which patrons can borrow for a trial period.

Renshaw informed attendees about an upcoming closure of the library for renovations, including new carpeting and reorganization of collections, scheduled to begin on September 9 for approximately five weeks. She encouraged community members to utilize the library's online resources, including access to current articles from the New York Times, during this time.
