Mills PTO Presidents' Message
Dear Parents,

It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to the 2010-2011 school year at Mills High School. We are your new Co-Presidents for the Mills Viking Parent-Teacher Organization (“PTO”) and we look forward to continuing the strong traditions that have been built over the years.

The Mills Viking PTO provides a vital link between parents, staff and administration to provide parent assistance and two-way communication between parents and the Mills staff. There are many ways to stay informed at Mills High School:

• Mills Viking PTO web page - http://millshigh.org/pto.html
• Viking Voice - official PTO newsletter published online
• Regular email updates - sign up to receive school updates by sending your email address to Jean Joh, Corresponding Secretary, at jean_joh@yahoo.com
• Attend regular PTO meetings - currently scheduled for August 25, October 20, November 17, February 16, April, 20, and May 11

We will kick off the new school year with the annual Pot Luck Dinner at 6:30 pm and PTO meeting at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, August 25th in the Mills Faculty Lounge. We encourage all parents, teachers and staff from the PTO, Mills Musical Arts Group (“MMAG”), Athletic Boosters and other school groups to join us.

All parents are needed to participate and volunteer at various events throughout the school year. To show we care about our children’s education, we urge you to join the PTO by completing the Mills Viking PTO Membership form. We also request that you kindly complete the Mills Viking PTO Volunteer Sign-Up form and submit it to Jean Joh, Corresponding Secretary, at jean_joh@yahoo.com. Alternatively, you may return both forms to the PTO box in the school office. Please volunteer to continue to make Mills one of the best high schools in the nation.

Last, but not least, kindly contribute to the Mills High School “Your Fair Share” fundraising drive. This funding supports our teachers with additional necessary supplies, equipment and technologies to enhance students’ learning experience, allowing them to prepare for their future.

Thanks to all of you for supporting the Mills Viking PTO.

Sincerely,

Kris Barbaro and Eleni Lolas
Co-Presidents
