How can I get involved? We are all volunteers, and we could use your help!

  • Join one of our monthly HSC meetings or contact the HSC Board at president@mcmshsc.com
  • Contact one of our Board Members or Grade Level Reps about joining a specific committee or contributing in another way. We are 100% volunteer-run and would love to have more parents and guardians to help with our events and fundraising!  We never turn away volunteers!
  • Check out our weekly newsletter in Parent Square for all of the latest events and volunteer opportunities.
  • Join our private Facebook Group (answer some questions and we’ll approve your entry)!

What is the Miller Creek Middle School Home & School Club (HSC)?

The MCMS Home & School Club (HSC) is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to support Miller Creek Middle School students, teachers, staff, and administrators, and build community and connections between the school and families.

Who is part of HSC?

All parents/guardians of students, administrators, teachers and staff attending MCMS are automatically members of HSC. HSC is overseen by a volunteer Executive Board. The Executive Board includes the MCMS Principal and the following Officers: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Parliamentarian, and DEI Chair.

What does HSC do?

From WEB day (“Where Everyone Belongs” incoming 6th graders orientation) to 8th Grade Graduation Day, MCMS HSC supports the students and staff at MCMS. We help make it a positive place to learn and work. We also promote community and school spirit among the families of Miller Creek Middle School.

Can you give specific examples of what HSC does for MCMS? HSC funds and supports:

  • Up to $150 of classroom supplies to each MCMS teacher
  • Quarterly lunches for all MCMS Staff, and treats for staff appreciation week
  • Dinner for staff on Back-to-School Night and Open House Night
  • $7500 for 1 to 1 technology for students (Can Do! also funds a portion of this)
  • WEB Day Lunch for all new students, WEB leaders, and MCMS Staff
  • Grade level dances/socials
  • Community building events like Popsicles in the Park, Hispanic Heritage Festival, Scholastic Book Fair, Community Read (free book for all students in English or Spanish!), Walk-A-Thon Fundraiser & Ice Cream Social, Parent/Guardian Mixers, Asian American Pacific Islander Festival, Birthday Book Club, and more!
  • Year-end activities for each grade
  • Special speakers or performers for school assemblies
  • Partial sponsorship of 8th Grade Graduation events
  • Provide volunteer support for school lunch distribution
  • Support and collaboration with Can Do!

HSC also pays for special projects:

  • Starting in 2024, we committed funds to establish a new PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) "Store" on campus run by LEAD Students.
  • Since 2024 we provided a free book in English or Spanish to MCMS Staff and families, as part of our FREE Community Read initiative (2024: Refugee by Alan Gratz, 2025: The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera)
  • In 2022, we bought new cameras ($4,000) for the MCMS yearbook class.
  • Purchased special hoodies for MCMS Staff as a thank you/holiday gift.

How does HSC accomplish its goals?

All of our activities are funded by your tax-deductible donations to our annual Spring Walk-A-Thon Fundraiser. Tax ID# 51-0214722. Thank you!

How is HSC different from CanDo?

MCMS HSC focuses its support on Miller Creek Middle School. We do our fundraising primarily in the Spring. Can Do! supports all four schools in the Miller Creek School District, and they do their fundraising throughout the school year.
