The eight grade team at Mill Middle won the regional Future City competition!  The Future City competition  pushes 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students all around the world to think about how to make the world a better place by imagining, researching, designing, and building cities of the future that showcase their solution to a citywide sustainability issue – this year’s issue was clean water.



This team of 15 kids from Mill Middle has worked together for three years and this is their third – and final – Future City regional competition.  They gave up Friday nights, early mornings, lunch times, and weekends to work on their project … and they won !! 

The next step is the international final competition in Washington DC  in mid-February.  The kids are so excited!

Unfortunately, the Future City organization only sponsors three kids from each team to come to the competition.   It is unusual for teams to be as large as ours, but this is an unusual group that has bonded together through three years of hard work.

We would love for all of the kids to be able to attend, not just the three who are sponsored.  The kids and their teachers are doing fundraising activities to meet that goal and we are also asking for your help to get all fifteen of them there. 

Funds raised through this GoFundMe will go towards renting a bus so that all the kids (and their chaperones) can go to DC together.  With a bus, everyone can go!

Thanks so much for contributing to this project.  This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for these kids to meet other kids from all over the world and share their vision for the future together.
