Every year, we like to celebrate our teachers and staff with a special appreciation week. You can see what we have planned. We are asking for your help for Wednesday and Friday. A note or card from your student is always special, and speaking of special, don't forget our amazing specials teachers! Signup Snacks for Wednesday.
For Friday, bring in your best homemade dish and help cover a class to give those teachers an extra special extended lunch.

Sign up for Maniacs Family Marathon - free with optional shirt purchase!
1/26/2025 9:46 am
We are so excited to continue the tradition of the Mills Park Maniacs Program - a virtual marathon for the family (minus the last mile)! This is a fun way for your family to get moving and to have fun together!
Your child/family will walk, run, skip, or hop 25.1 miles (no bikes) by Wednesday, March 26th. Complete the last 1.1 mile at school on Thursday, March 27th at 10:00 a.m. - families are invited to run with their student. All other MPE students will be cheering on the runners.
How it works:
1 - Complete this form: add a registration to your cart for each participating student. Registration is free. As usual, you will have the option of purchasing a Maniacs shirt for your runner(s) and matching adult shirts*. This year you have the option of a basic poly-cotton blend shirt or a Sport-Tek Racer-mesh shirt. All shirts purchased by Feb. 7th will be delivered to your student by early March. (*Staff PTA members - use your spirit wear discount code for 20% off).
2 - Start logging your miles at your pace. Here is a log you can use. You can expect a pace of about 3-5 miles per week depending on when you register. We will also host a few "running dates" where you and your family can meet up with other Maniacs and complete a mile or two (dates TBD).
For every completed mile, your student will put a bead on their necklace. Students will receive their necklace and beads on Mon. Feb. 3rd or Mon. Feb. 10th depending on date of registration. There will be a special star bead for the 5k milestone, a colorful glass bead for the 13-mile mark and a paw charm for the 26.1 mile mark.
3 - Complete 25 miles by Wednesday, March 26th.
4 - Have your student ready to run on Thursday, March 27th. Come and run with them. Wear your shirts!
Registration will close on Friday, Feb. 7th at midnight.
