MILLER MIXERS

What are Miller Mixers?

Miller Mixers are social fundraisers that bring together a group of people for outings or activities. They are planned by Miller families for the members of our community. These events are a wonderful way to meet new friends, have fun with old friends, and contribute to our children's experience at Miller. 

How does it work?

A person or people in the Miller Community volunteer to host a fun event. The host chooses what the event will be, where to have it, what group the event is open to (a class/a grade/a few grades/the whole school...) and how many people can participate. 

How do Miller Mixers support our school?

Thanks to the generosity of our Miller Mixer hosts, 100% of the Miller Mixer registration fees go to the Miller Elementary PTO.
