You all are AMAZING! We’ve just surpassed our initial goal of 40K!!  We’re raising the bar so we can provide more amazing things for our students, staff and KME community this school year. If Kelly Mill gets to 50K — ALL of KME will get KONA ICE as a reward!! There’s still plenty of time to get donations, and we have more fun challenges & rewards to come! 

This weekend’s challenge is to get TWO MORE donations to be entered to race PE scooters down the hall! Don’t forget to mark your calendar for the Fun Run on Wednesday, September 23rd.

📣 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.
