Special Edition - Annual Fund Update
Dear Mills Families, 

Thank you to everyone who has donated to the Annual Fund so far this year.  
 
As a reminder, our goal is $140,000 and we are only at 40% of the goal. The last two years have been tough from a fundraising perspective ($70,000 raised in 2020 and $44,000 raised in 2021) so we do not have reserves and are in jeopardy of not being able to fund the following items (which are dependent on the Annual Fund)
  • Exceptional Counselors: Our counselors provide academic support and support our students’ socio-emotional well-being. As you know, these support services are essential for our youth.  
  • Science Equipment: Mills High School has some of the best lab equipment and has excellent Science course offerings because of the Annual Fund.
  • Student Clubs and Field Trips: Our student clubs and teachers request extra funds for equipment, resources, and funding for trips.
  • Continuing to upgrade our classroom technology equipment: Our teachers upgraded to high-definition flat screens and projectors that allow for greater accessibility and more engaged learning (it helps when learners can see the slide deck). And the requests keep coming for the high-definition set-ups.

Can you please help us by doing one or more of the following? 

  • If you have already donated, please submit a corporate match. Our 501(c)(3) organization is listed as “Vikings-Parent Group” or “Mills High School PTO.” Our Tax ID number is #94-2353182.
  • Donate to the Annual Fund today! Although we appreciate EVERY donation, we are asking financially-able families to donate $500/family. Each donation is entered into a drawing for prizes, which will be given during Mills Got Talent Mania on Friday, March 24, 2023. Click HERE to donate.  

   In addition to some fun prizes, please see the Family Giving Levels below:

ANNUAL FUND FAMILY GIVING LEVELS SY 2022-2023
Mills High School & The Mills PTO present Mills Got Talent Mania 2023

Mills Mania has been a Vikings Tradition for many years, bringing past, present, and future Vikings together. Our student organizations sell food and drinks (to help fund their activities), we’ll have a photo booth, and a therapy animal farm for all to enjoy! We will also have a random draw of fun prizes for families who have donated to the Annual Fund.  
 
Last year, we brought talent into Mills Mania and for the second year, will have Mills Got Talent Mania (MGTM)! There will be a nominal entrance fee (100% going to the Annual Fund Drive) to enjoy an entertaining show, put on by our very own Vikings.  
 
We need some helping hands for MGTM! If you would like to join a fun crew, fill out the volunteer form today: Mills Got Talent Mania Volunteer Request Form
 
We hope to see you there!
 
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
