Howdy Mountain Lion Families!

I hope this new school year is off to a great start for all of you and your kiddos.

Thank you to all 206 of you who have already joined your Mills PTA! If you haven’t yet, please do. Our goal this year is to have a membership of 450 parents, caregivers and community members. Your membership and support are crucial to our ability to fund school programs, support our students and staff and host community events. Whether you have a lot of time to give or none at all, we would love for you to join us!

Mark your calendars for our First PTA meeting of the year on Friday, August 29 at 8am in the Mills Cafeteria. Here is the agenda. Following this meeting, we will be holding our Volunteer Fair. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about our goals for the year and discover how you can get involved.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Take Care,

Laura Kappel

Stick around after the meeting for our PTA Volunteer Fair!

It's the perfect opportunity to learn more about all the incredible committees that make our school shine. You'll get to chat with committee chairs and find a volunteer role- big or small- that's a perfect fit for you.

See you there, Mountain Lion Families!
