2014 MCE PTA Fall Carnival

We are thrilled to announce that it's almost time for the annual MCE PTA Fall Carnival!


Please join us on Friday, October 17 from 5:30 to 8:00 PM for this evening of family fun, full of games, food and good times!

The MCE PTA Fall Carnival is pleased to offer carnival games, Mustang Idol karaoke, the cake walk, dunking booth ($1 for three balls), balloon animals, bounce houses & slides and so much more! Food will be available for purchase at the event.

Adults and children under three are free. Prepaid admission for Mustangs families is $10 per child for the first two children and $5 per child for each additional. Admission at the door is $12 per child for the first two children and $5 per child for each additional.

In order to make this event even more of a success, we would appreciate some volunteers to help with providing baked goods for the Cake Walk, loaning tailgate tents and assisting with setup and breakdown. Please visit our SignUp Genius link to volunteer.

Additionally, we would love to provide some responsible teens with some easy community service hours on the night of the carnival. We will utilize their services to assist in manning booths, supervising the bounce houses and acting as runners for the carnival chairpersons. They will need to be available from 5:00 to 8:00 PM (shorter shifts are also possible). Extra hours can be earned if teens can help with setup prior to the event or breakdown afterwards. Please email Mandy Roden at mroden524@aol.com with your teen's name and contact information to get him or her on the list.

MCE - Do You Shoparoo?

MCE has been using a great new app to help earn money for our PTA and our school. 

Shoparoo provides an easy way to earn money towards your school by doing one simple thing: shopping.

All you have to do is download the free Shoparoo app from iTunes or Google Play. Select Mill Creek Elementary as your home school. And then go shopping. When you are finished, use the app to take a photo of and upload your receipt, and then watch the School Roo Points add up!


It couldn't be easier!

Shoparoo accepts receipts from any store that sells grocery items: grocery stores, convenience stores, dollar stores, club stores, drug stores and super centers. Submit up to 20 receipts in a rolling seven day period to earn cash back to your school.

Shoparoo also accepts receipts from non-grocery establishments like restaurants and other retail stores. Upload up to 50 non-grocery receipts in a rolling seven day period to earn entries for your school into Shoparoo's monthly $1000 sweepstakes and $15,000 annual sweepstakes. Each non-grocery receipt counts as one entry, so the more receipts uploaded, the better the chances of winning!

You can also share the app with friends and family to have them start earning points for MCE as well!

Don't miss out on this great and easy way to support MCE!
