Students are invited to the Kona Ice Truck on Thursday, Nov 5th! It’s a fun treat for them, and a portion of the sales are donated back to the school. 🍧❤️
During 7th and 8th grade lunch at privilege times, all students can head out to the truck to purchase. PTA student members can use their "Fast Pass" perk to skip the lines! It's not too late to join at www.joinpta.org.
Don’t forget to send your kids with cash or card since devices are no longer allowed!
McMillan PTA is hard at work planning our upcoming schoolwide fundraiser, and this year we’re doing things a little differently!
Instead of using a large outside fundraising company, our PTA is taking on the fundraiser ourselves. That means more of what our McMillan families and community raise can stay right here to support our Pirates and our school.
More information is coming soon. For now, volunteers are needed. https://my.cheddarup.com/c/mcmillantreats
Background check required for all on campus volunteers: https://web.wylieisd.net/BackgroundCheck/BkgroudCkForm.aspx
