This organization has provided support to our school in a variety of ways including the purchase of several Smart Boards.  The Flamborough Food Bank is grateful to accept donations from Millgrove School at Christmas time.  We support the Heart and Stroke Foundation at the spring Jump Rope for Heart event and we also contribute generously to the Terry Fox Run.  The Millgrove Children’s Centre is a true partner with Millgrove School. The day care does an amazing job advocating for our school. Wendy Teed (owner) supports our school in every way possible!
