Dear McMillin Families,

Our Beagle Bolt Jog-a-Thon was a HUGE success!  We raised a total of $40,900!  A sincere thank you to all of the families that participated in raising money to support our wonderful students in their McMillin activities. Also, thank you to all the parents who volunteered this past Friday in the actual Jog-a-Thon.  It was a good time!

This Friday, September 16th at 8:30am, we will have the raffle prize assembly to pick the lucky winners of the donated gifts. This week, the teachers will be distributing the tickets to the students (1 ticket for every $25 they raised).  On that Friday, the grade level leaders will also receive their goody bags as a way of thanking them.  They are as follows:

TK                 Trinity N      from Ms. McGinty’s class

Kinder           Jayzon W    from Mrs. Fink’s class

1st Grade      Gabriel A    from Mrs. Gibson class

2nd Grade     Kristofer T  from Mrs. Disharoon’s class

3rd Grade     Joseph P    from Mrs. Chumbley’s class

4th Grade     Allen B        from Ms. Hernandez’s class

5th Grade     Hasti S        from Mr. Chumbley’s

6th Grade     Max C         from Mrs. McGrath’s class

Also, the pizza party lunch with the principal, assistant principal, and the teacher will be this Tuesday, September 13th for those students who raised $200 or more:)

Again, thank you McMillin community for being amazing!!

We have raised $31,500 so far!!  And…we still are collecting and inputting money today as well.  Last year, we raised about $33,500, so let’s see if we get more this year:)

PLEASE turn in all money today.

Thank you

Tomorrow is the big day!

8:30 – 8:55  TK and Kinder

9:00 – 9:25 1st, 2nd, 3rd Grade

Dear McMillin Parents,

We are on our last week of our Beagle Bolt Jog-a-Thon fundraiser.  We have currently raised

$15,744.  Wow!  Thank you to the 190 students who have contributed to that staggering amount!  But we still have until this Friday, September 9th to raise even more for our wonderful students.  All the money collected will go directly to grade level field trips, assemblies, computer programs, books, classroom supplies and so much more!

As a way of showing our appreciation, for every $25 students raise, they will receive a raffle ticket for a chance at winning a Lenovo Chrome book, 4 LEGOLAND tickets, a BMX bike, iTunes gift cards, AMC movie tickets, Museum tickets, SkullCandy earbuds, Scott sunglasses, a Target gift card, and a Chili’s gift card.

Students who raise $200 or more will have a pizza lunch in the auditorium with the principal, the associate principal, and their teacher!

The top earner for each grade level will receive a tote bag containing AMC movie tickets, school supplies and more.

If you haven’t had a chance yet, please log on to pledgestar.com/mcmillin to register.  Cash and check donations (made payable to McMillin PTA) are also welcome.

If you get a chance, stop by on Friday to cheer our students on as they jog for McMillin!  Students are encouraged to wear their McMillin shirts or colors:)

Fall break will be from September 19th – October 3rd. Students report back October 4th it is NOT a minimum day. Here is a link to the district calendar.

It is amazing how much your children have grown this 1 quarter. It is clearest in TK and Kinder because it is a mind and body growth, but it is evident everywhere in what your children can accomplish now. Spend a few minutes to reflect and notice how far they have come. Learning new things isn’t easy so don’t forget to remind them how proud you are of them.
