Bus Riders need Permission to Walk Home / To a Friends
If you think this might happen regularly and you don't want to send in permission each time, you can fill out a form for the year. This form is in the virtual backpack.
We just don't want kids deciding to walk home and parents not knowing they are doing this.

Kids Resale
FALL IS COMING and so is our resale!
Have a donation for the sale? We are hosting an EASYdonation drop off if you aren’t planning to be a seller but still want to contribute to this great cause. Bring your donated items to the Middle school main entrance on THIS Saturday, September 7th from 9AM-11AM . If you have, Fall & Winter clothing, shoes, bikes, dollhouses, other toys or baby equipment in good working condition that your house has outgrown, come drop it off!
We will take all toys for kids (infant to teen) in good working condition. We will also take baby equipment, sports equipment and room decor. This event is a success for our students because of the families that sell, the families that donate and the families that shop the sale. Thanks so much for your support!!
Keep in mind, if you have items to donate and this donation drive time is not convenient for you, please contact us at millburnkidsresale@yahoo.com so we can make arrangements. We LOVE donations!
Also, we are now seeking volunteers to help out at the donation drive. Feel like getting your volunteer hours out of the way early? Click here to visit our site and volunteer today!
