On May 15, 2012 voters of our Millbrook District community approved the 2012-13 budget by a vote of 393 to 172 (a 66.8% approval rate).  Voters also approved Proposition 2 (establishment of a Capital Reserve Fund) by a vote of 337 to 152 (a 68.9% approval rate).  On behalf of the Board of Education, our students and our staff, we thank our community for your continued trust and confidence in our District as represented in this recent vote.  You have enabled us to face the future with a strong and continuing program, as well as provided us with a fiscally responsible means of saving for potential future capital expenditures (improvements and/or renovations of our facilities) through the newly authorized Reserve Fund.  Also reelected for continuing service on our Board of Education are board members James Ross (411 votes) and John Rudy (398 votes).  Once again, we appreciate your support!

Congratulations are certainly in order!!!  On Saturday April 28th, Millbrook High School hosted an inaugural Relay for Life event on behalf of the American Cancer Society.  Twenty-seven teams and over 200 people participated throughout a beautiful day raising over $15,000 for this worthy cause. This is just one more example of what makes Millbrook the incredible place it is!

Thanking Millbrook High School and its many volunteers, Dan Gonzalez, staff partner for the American Cancer Society, called this high school Relay for Life event the best of its kind in his six years with the organization. 

Special thanks and recognition go out to Karen Tremaine, Val Bruno and Ed Kossmann who served as the High School's key leaders and the project event team for the event. Thanks also to all of the teams, school representatives and advocates, bakers, students and other volunteers who made the event so successful and memorable. For example .... How awesome were Mrs. D's Diva's!? And what about Mr. Spross' beautiful purple logo on our hill?!

On behalf of my colleagues here at district office, Christine Ackerman and Brian Fried, we were all glad to have been participants and extend our collective congratulations to all !!!
