what's new for 2011-2012
In past years, the PTO helped sponsor initiatives such as the new Miller School Playground, field trips, our first annual Science Fair, school parties, enrichment programs and much more. This year, we plan to continue our efforts improving the educational experience for Miller students.
Also new for this year, Miller School PTO has been approved for 501(C)(3) status. This means that we have been designated and approved as a public charity and exempt from federal income tax. Your donations and contributions to the PTO can be claimed as tax deductible charitable contributions. More information can be found here.
Two Hour Power!
We’ve started using a program called 2 Hour Power that emphasizes that all help, any help makes a huge difference for schools. The research is so clear – kids at schools with a broad base of involved parents perform markedly better on all kinds of key school measures. If we can get every CE Miller parent to commit Just 2 Hours to helping out, we can do amazing things for our kids and our school. Click Here to Take the 2 Hour Power Pledge Today!
