The Millbrooke March is the main FUNdraiser for the year! We begin by collecting monetary donations through September 13. Then, we all head out to the march. Students will "march" (it's really walking, jogging, or running đŸ˜‰) by grade level in the west parking lot. For every completed lap, students earn a fabric band to represent the lap. Next, we cool off with a small treat before returning to the classroom. Once all donations have been counted, prizes will be announced and handed out. We encourage you to check out the prizes and come join us for the fun on September 13!
Here are a few examples of how Millbrooke March donations were utilized in 2023-2024.

Be Proactive
The Millbrooke March is the main fundraiser for our PTO. We are working together to raise money to help our students be more successful in school, by providing resources for teachers, purchasing supplies, and planning activities to build our community.
Begin with the End in Mind
Our school goal is $18,000. To achieve this, we are asking each student to raise $60 in donations. Together we can do it!
Put First Things First
First, we raise the money to reach our goal. Then, we celebrate together at the Millbrooke March with a run, good music, great people, and a lot of fun!
Think Win-Win
When you help us by collecting donations, we reward the students, and it helps all our students, teachers, and staff members! We have wonderful prizes ready to share!
Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
This is the major fundraiser for our PTO. We want it to be fun, community building, and successful! We chose to ask for monetary donations as opposed to selling products. 100% of the donations stay right here at Millbrooke, where everyone benefits.
Synergize
All of the money raised will go directly into the PTO budget to help our school. Come join us at our monthly meetings on the 1st Tuesday of each month at 7pm to have input to how the funds get utilized and enjoyed!
Sharpen the Saw
We will "march" by grade level at the Millbrooke March! Join your student's marching time or stay for the entire march. Don't miss out meeting other Millbrooke families, enjoy the music, and support our first event of the school year.
