    For one final time this school year, we’d love to fill the staff lounges with a variety of sweet, individually wrapped treats and refreshing drinks to help keep their energy up and spirits lifted throughout the week.

    Thanks to your incredible generosity over the Fall, every single donation was enjoyed and appreciated by our growing team — thank you so much! Now, we’re hoping to refill our stash in time for this special celebration.

    If you have room in your next Amazon order, please consider adding a few extra bags of goodies for our staff. You can shop directly from our Amazon Wishlist below — items will ship straight to the school for your convenience:

    Help West Millbrook and Ms. Keane win a $10,000 grant for the school!  A parent nominated Ms. Keane for the Rack Room Teacher of the Year award. Voting is open til April 5 and each person can vote once a day. The prize is a $10,000 technology award for the school!  No registration is required to vote but they made it a little complicated to find her entry. At the top, you need to use the little search tool and type "Raleigh"...and then four teachers filter out and she's one of them. It doesn't let you search by name or school, unfortunately. 

    This is the link to vote... It takes a minute to load https://2025rrsteacherofyear.cmpgn.page/DgtrC6

     

    3 Year Graduation Option Information is posted to our website for families to review.

    Increase in highly caffeinated energy drinks – Our faculty/staff have noticed a significant increase in these drinks at West Millbrook in the past few weeks.  Some of these drinks such as Alani have over 200 mg of caffeine (double that found in a normal cup of coffee) and many of them resemble sparkling water brands.
