The Parent Teacher Organization of Miller Avenue School is a multi-faceted organization. Our goal is to be a powerful voice for all children in our school, to be a resource for families and our community and to advocate for the education and well-being of every child.
OUR MISSION
Let's spread some kindness this holiday season!
Each day in the month of December leading up to the holiday break there is something kind for the kids to do on our calendar. Share a photo with us with the hashtag #milleravekindkids and we'll print your kind kid's picture to be displayed on our kind kid wall at school! Spread kindness everywhere!

MoMA Art Show at Miller Avenue School
Kindergarten: 5:30-6:30pm
First grade: 6:30-7:30pm
Second grade: 7:30-6:30pm
If you have children in multiple grades it is ok to go at the time that works best for you. If you are unable to make your grade time it is ok to go at a different time if needed. The goal of splitting the grades is to allow for less people in the building at once and more parking availability.
MoMA is a family evening event featuring an art show of your child’s work framed for purchase. Join us for some winter holiday fun, cookies, hot cocoa and more. Christie Alotta at Calotta89@icloud.com with questions. If you cannot make the event or want pre-order artwork on a credit card instead of paying cash on the day of the event go to http://moma.cheddarup.com.
Krispy Kreme pick up at MoMA too!
