A huge thank you to everyone who turned out on Saturday for our Spring Carnival!  I hope you didn't get wet.  It was amazing to see our community come together for this fun event.  A special thank you to our parent volunteers, those who signed up and those who volunteered on the spot.  We could not have done this without you.  Room parents, those raffle baskets were phenomenal, so thank you for the hard work of putting them together. 

Lastly, thank you to our sponsors for their support:  Carolina Orthodontics, Triangle Family Dentistry, Rich

Music School,Starpath, Stemarga, Hearts and Pixels, Piedmont Wildlife Center, Duke Pediatrics, Snapology, Lune Spark.

School Funding Virtual Session

4/28/2025 11:07 am

Do you have questions about the school and the budget?  Are you wondering why the PTA has to raise funds?  Please join us virtually as we host Lynn Edmonds from Public Schools First NC to talk about the implications from Federal and State budgets.  This is an informational session, not a debate on policy.  If you are motivated to take action, we will give you options for speaking up to support our public schools. 

Join us with this LINK on Wednesday, May 7th from 7-7:40

Odyssey of the Mind - World Finals!

4/28/2025 10:50 am

This year Mills Park has 4 teams going to Michigan to represent our school in the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals tournament!

The students have worked incredibly hard since last October and are very excited to take their performances to the next level. 

The coaches of the 4 teams are working together to gather funds to help pay for the trip. They have set up a GoFundMe, and all the proceeds will be split evenly between the teams to help pay for tournament registration ($3750 per team) and shipping/transport costs for all their props and backdrops. Also, if your child hasn't done Odyssey and you are interested in getting more information so they can be part of all this fun, please reach out to the Odyssey coordinator (Lin - mpeom@millsparkpta.com).
