School started a month ago today. A lot has happened in that month!
PTSA enjoyed meeting new faces during the open house last week. Thank you to everyone that has joined, and especially those that have donated. As you may know - we are doing No Fuss fundraising this year. Our students and faculty depend on us to financially support things like new technology (3D printers, collaborative workspace…) digital resources, leadership training and student scholarship funds. We are proud to host monthly PAWS breakfasts, (freshmen) Character Ed, and the Honor Roll celebrations for all grade levels. We take care of our awesome staff with 5 lunch or breakfast events a year, we support the IB program as well as helping with Millbrook Family Adoptions. What PTSA does (and pays for...) impacts everyone across the entire school community. The 2016-17 budget to support our year is just over $30K. We are a 5013c organization so it’s also tax deductible. If your company corporate matches – let us know and we’ll do the legwork to make that happen. Our monthly PTSA Meeting is scheduled for Monday October 3rd in the Media Center at 7PM. (MHS Athletic Boosters has theirs at 6PM in the Main Office if you want to hit both!) We have our first PAWS breakfast on Friday October 7th, and Senior Pictures are scheduled for October 13. The Halloween Staff luncheon will be hosted on Friday October 28th!! Millbrook High School has partnered with NC State Employees Credit Union (NCSECU) to host a one-day financial education event for over 200 Millbrook High School students! The event is called "The Reality of Money,” a project of the North Carolina Credit Union Development Educators which allows students to see the "Real" side of money through a hands-on, problem-solving model. Take a look at this video to see students participating in the event.
This event will take place on Wednesday, November 16, 2016 in our small gym. In order for this event to be successful, we need volunteers! If you could help, please register using the link below. If you've ever paid bills or managed a family/personal budget then you are more than qualified to volunteer! If you could volunteer for the entire day, that would be great. However, if only one session would work for you, there are two time frames you can register for: 8:00am - 10:30am or 10:30am - 2:10pm. A Chick-fil-A lunch will be provided to all volunteers. All volunteers will receive a quick training from NCSECU before the students arrive. You will assist students in making financial decisions as they move through various stations such as transportation, housing, food, clothing, etc. Click here for the agenda for the day. Please let me know if you have any questions about anything. Thank you in advance for willing to be part of this event. If you know of any others that may want to participate, please forward them this email. Sign Up Here for MHS Reality of Money! Thank you, Timothy Walker, MBA, NBCT Career Development Coordinator Hello! I hope you are having a great start to the new school year!
