Welcome to Mills Adventures! The PTA’s Mills Adventures offer an opportunity for teachers and staff to offer social, non-academic opportunities for students outside of instructional time (most often after school!) while helping the PTA raise money for the school. Our Mountain Lions love spending extra time with teachers doing fun things! Mills Adventures serve as the PTA’s winter fundraiser, and we share the proceeds with the staff members who host the adventures.
(If you’ve been around Mills for a few years, you might remember these as Kid Bids, but as part of their revival, we changed the name and separated them from a school festival.)
There are two types of Mills Adventures. There are grade level adventures, and any student in that grade can purchase a ticket and participate. These are large group activities, and everyone is welcome! There are also items families can bid on, and the prize will be offered to the highest bidder(s). A full list of our 2023 Mills Adventures is listed below. Additional adventures may be added over time. Stay tuned!
