Miller School is seeking volunteers to supervise a “Library Lunch” option for students who are interested in reading in a quiet spot after they finish their lunch. We are seeking volunteers on the identified days below to get us to the end of November. Volunteers are needed from 10:30am-12:20pm.
Important Information for Volunteers:
We need 2-3 Volunteers to supervise library lunch at a time.
Volunteers will greet the students in the cafe and walk them to the Miller Library.
Volunteers should monitor the lunchtime and be sure students are ready to go to class at the end of their scheduled time.
When signing up list your time slot that you will be attending.
All volunteers must have an active CORI on file.
Volunteers Needed: Laps at Lunch
LAPS AT LUNCH
Laps at Lunch is a program that will provide Miller school students with an opportunity to move their bodies, connect with friends, and relieve stress during their lunch period on identified days beginning on September 17, 2025.
Volunteers are needed from 10:30-12:20
This program is supported by the Miller School administration and the District Wellness Council, and to be successful, the program needs parent/guardian support! This is a fun way to volunteer and get involved with the school community!
All volunteers must have an active CORI on file. click here to sign up!

THE NED SHOW ASSEMBLY - RESCHEDULED
NED's Mindset Mission Assembly at Miller School has been rescheduled for October 21st! After the show through Oct. 27, we’ll be selling NED’s yo-yos as a fun, tangible reminder of the show’s message.

The NED Show Assembly
NED's Mindset Mission Assembly is visiting our school this week! NED and our students take a journey to find their positive mindset. The show is filled with storytelling, humor, illusions, and amazing yo-yo tricks where our kids learn the hidden message in NED's name:
Never give up - understand the Power of YET
Encourage others - spark courage in other people
Do your best - always be learning and growing
After the show, we will be selling yo-yos because a yo-yo is both a mindset tool and a tangible reminder of NED's message. While learning to yo-yo, children will make mistakes, try again, and improve.
Our school received this assembly at no-cost because another school paid-it-forward to us. We want to help pay-it-forward too, by selling NED-messaged yo-yos. Your child will bring home a flyer with more information about purchasing a yo-yo at lunch, but we need YOUR help to be able to sell yo-yos. Please consider signing up to help out during lunch between October 1 & 7, and see all the smiling faces as they get their own yo-yos!
*A current CORI is required to volunteer in school.*
