We’re ready to cook up something amazing for Kelly Mill through our annual Boosterthon fundraiser! It’s the only PTO fundraiser of the year! 100% of the proceeds go to KME, and we need your support! Donations to Boosterthon support classroom programs, teacher grants, school improvement, community events and staff hospitality. It all begins Tuesday, September 15th and ends with the Fun Run on Wednesday, September 23rd. We’ve got prizes, school wide incentives and more! You’ll be getting more information from your child’s room parent, in addition to KME PTO’s Instagram and Facebook pages, where you’ll be able to see all the fun we’re cooking up during Boosterthon! Thank you for your support of KME and our amazing community!

📣 Inclusive Playground Update: Help Us Keep the Momentum Going! 🚀

Kelly Mill Family, our mission to build a fully inclusive playground for every child in our county is in full swing! We recently celebrated a huge milestone—our very first $25,000 corporate donation from a generous local construction company!

To help us cross the finish line, we’re asking every KME family to help us make one connection. Do you own a business, work for a local company, or know a business leader in Forsyth County?

Through the PEACH Education Tax Credit, Georgia businesses and taxpayers can redirect their state income tax dollars directly to our playground project. It’s a dollar-for-dollar credit, meaning local businesses can make a huge, lasting impact for our kids at $0 net cost to their bottom line!

Whether it's connecting us with a corporate partner or making an individual family donation, every effort helps us move from the sidelines to the center of play.

Join us on Tuesday, September 22nd from 6:00-7:45 at Kelly Mill for our 7 Mindsets Family Night, which will include fun 7 Mindsets activities for the whole family! All school-age students are welcome to attend.
