A Message from our CEO, Carolyn Woods

The following is a message from the Interact Club at Millennium. Interact is a club that brings together young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self. 

On August 8th, wildfires began to spread and devastate the island of Maui.  The fires left homes destroyed, resources depleted, and lives ended.  To alleviate Maui’s suffering, organizations such as food banks are accepting donations to assist victims. 

Millennium High School’s Interact Club is hosting a recycling fundraiser in support of Maui.  All proceeds will go towards the Maui Food Bank.  Students will be collecting plastic and aluminum recyclables and placing them in fundraiser-specific bins over the course of the upcoming school week, starting September 11 and ending September 15.  We encourage students of all grades to bring their bags of recyclables from home, and to recycle any bottles or recyclables at school in the fundraiser bins.  The bins will be located in the Primary hallway, the Discovery lunch area, and the Millennium lunch area. Please feel free to bring plastic and aluminum recyclables.  Glass will not be accepted. Thank you!

A Message from our CEO, Carolyn Woods

Hello, TLC families! Toward the end of last year I started a campus beautification campaign. The goal was (and still is!) to install artificial turf in the Primary playground area and replace the sod in the front of the school with turf. I am happy to report that in just three months we raised close to $15,000!!! That is amazing and I am very thankful to all who donated! I am restarting the campaign with the hopes of reaching our goal of $50,000. I know that seems like a lofty goal and it will not cover the entire cost of the installation, but it will certainly help! 

It is fast and easy to donate, just click on the PayPal link and select “Campus Beautification.” All donations are tax deductible. Please share the link with family and friends!!! 

Anyone can donate from anywhere!
