Welcome to the 2024-2025 Mills Adventures!  

Our PTA offers an opportunity for teachers and staff to host social, non-academic opportunities for students outside of instructional time (most often after school!) while helping the PTA raise money for the school.  Our Mountain Lions love spending extra time with teachers doing fun things!  Mills Adventures serve as the PTA’s Spring fundraiser, and we share the proceeds with the staff members who host the adventures.
 
40% of funds raised for each Adventure will go straight back to the staff member(s) running that event! What a great opportunity to support our teachers/staff while allowing our children to spend quality time with them!
 

There are two types of Mills Adventures:

1. Ticketed Adventures

Some ticketed adventures are grade level specific adventures, and only students in that grade can purchase a ticket and participate. 

 

Other ticketed adventures are open to multiple grade levels, and everyone is welcome! 

2. Highest Bidder(s) Adventures 

There are also items families can bid on, and the prize will be offered to the highest bidder(s). 

A full list of our former 2024/2025 Mills Adventures is listed below.  Additional adventures may be added over time.  Stay tuned!

 

There are limited number of spaces available for each adventure!
