Annual Fund Campaign Launch - Let's Do This Together!
Dear Viking Families,

We hope that your children have settled into being back at school! Our teachers, staff, and administrators continue to work tirelessly to adapt and reinvent engaging curriculum to best optimize learning while preserving the sense of magic and possibility that a Mills education offers.
 
We are more motivated and inspired than ever to raise funds for Mills. As many of you know, the school district’s annual operating budget allocation for Mills does not fully cover the costs of all that Mills needs each year. The Mills Annual Fund was created to bridge that funding gap ensuring as a community that we do all we can to support our children’s learning experience. You can learn about the activities and events planned for this year’s Annual Fund campaign here in this link – https://millsannualfund.dojiggy.io/2021
 
The Annual Fund supports a wide variety of school needs such as Chromebooks, scientific calculators, science lab materials, teacher education, student counseling, and clubs, just to name a few. You will be hearing and learning more about what you can do to support Mills and how gifts from our community are critical to helping all students weather this pandemic together.
· The Annual Fund is going online!
· Our raffle is returning!
· Mills Mania is being reinvented in the spring to celebrate the culmination of our fundraising efforts!

If you, your employer or your business can donate your time, presence, items, gift certificates, gift baskets or swag to the raffle, please contact us at the email below – you can make a difference!
 
These are difficult times for so many of us, but if you are able, please support the Mills Annual Fund. Every gift counts, regardless of size, and it would be an excellent example of solidarity and support to reach 100 percent participation! Together we are Viking Strong!
 
With gratitude,
