Virtual Reality Baseball Training!
Funded Mar 13, 2021Thank you so much for your contribution to our school's baseball program. With the addition of our virtual reality program, we have been able to get more of our student athletes the opportunity the get realistic reps against high school, college, or even professional pitchers without getting anyone hurt.
Your generosity has helped to give more of our student athletes the confidence that they need to continue to grow and perform at a high level. Thank you so much and we hope to see you at one of our games this season!”
With gratitude,

Our Most Advanced Students Want to Go Heavy!
Funded Oct 7, 2016Thanks to your donations for this and past projects, we have been able to develop a strength and conditioning program at Millennium that has really advanced our athletics department. We now have over 300 students across 16 teams training in the weight room, as well as another 60 in weight training class during the day.
There is still more that needs to be done, but we have already made incredible progress. We have seen students go from not being able to do a single push up to being able to bench press more than their own bodyweight. None of it would be possible without the equipment that your donations have provided.
On behalf of all of our student athletes- our experiences and strong down to our novice and still trying to get there- we want you to know how big of a difference you've made.
Thanks!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Friedman
Get Millennium Students More Fit!
Funded Aug 3, 2016Thank you so much for all of your generous donations. Thanks to you, our students are now able to engage in a whole new range of exercises. Just by adding a few new pieces of equipment, the options have exploded for the class. Now there is less wait time for exercises, more options, and a better atmosphere.
When the kids saw the new equipment, they could not believe how professional the gym was. Some of the students belong to gyms outside of school and commented that the weight room is school is now better than the gym they pay for. It was great to hear the kids appreciate the space.
When students have high end equipment in a beautiful facility, it is easy to keep them engaged, excited, and encouraged. It has been a real pleasure teaching this class so far, and I am hoping to continue to grow the curriculum to meet the needs of the students.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Target and 4 other donors.Get Millennium Athletes Stronger in a Brand New Weight Room!
Funded Aug 1, 2015Thanks to your generous donations we now have a beautiful state of the art weight room for the Millennium student athletes to train in. Just last year we could only fit 12 players in the weight room, and they were very limited in what they were able to do. Practices would last twice as long as they had to so that everyone could get their chance to do what they needed to. Now we can fit 30 players and they can all work at the same time.
I expect to see a big change in attitudes, performance, and pride from our whole athletics department. For our students to know that they are treated like professionals and expected to act as professionals, it raises the bar for everything that they do. Being a professional athlete is far from what we are trying to accomplish in our professionalism, but for some it may be a reality at some point which will only be aided by your contributions.
We strive to teach our student athletes to respect themselves, others, their equipment, and their surroundings. Knowing that others in the community respect them enough to give them this new weight room will help greatly in encouraging them to give that respect back. Thank you so much and I hope you realize the impact you have made.”

Mr. Friedman
