Beagle Bolt Information!!

Hello McMillin Families!

Last week, the school had its Beagle Bolt Jog-a-Thon Kick-Off Assembly!  By now, your child should have received a pink pack with an envelope attached to it containing all the information.  

What is the Beagle Bolt?

The Beagle Bolt is a run that we host to raise money for our school.  It has been the largest annual fundraiser for the past 4 years.  ALL the money collected goes directly back to each grade level and each student!  It pays for field trips, classroom supplies, books, and so so so much more!

You can register at pledgestar.com/mcmillin and follow the quick and simple steps.  It will allow you to ask your family and friends for donations.  Cash and check donations (payable to McMillin PTA) are also gratefully accepted.

Every child who raises $25 or more will automatically receive a paw print draw string bag, a paw print squishy toy, and a paw print rubber bracelet.

Every child who raises $200 or more will be part of a Pizza Party with their teacher, the principal, and the assistant principal during their normal lunch time.

The top grade level earner will receive a drawstring bag full of school supplies and a surprise gift card.

And..for every $25 raised, a student will receive a raffle ticket.  The prizes this year include:  A Nintendo Switch, 4 Lego Land tickets, a laptop computer, wireless head phones, a fire tablet, and many many gift cards!

We thank you soooo much for giving in the past and thank you for considering giving this year!!  It is all for our wonderful students!!!
