Within McMillan, there exists a truly extraordinary group of students. United by their passion for numbers and problem-solving, these young mathematicians have come together as the 22-23 McMillan Math Team. This talented team had spent countless hours this year, pouring their hearts into creating a vibrant mathematical community. Through sheer determination, they hosted and competed in multiple math competitions, demonstrating their prowess and inspiring their peers to embrace the joys of mathematics.
The McMillan Math Team’s accomplishments extend beyond academics; they have fostered an atmosphere of camaraderie, support, and mutual respect. These young mathematicians have become role models in the community, exemplifying the values of hard work, collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. Their incredible journey deserves to be celebrated.
As a reward for their outstanding achievements and commitment, we are raising funds for a field trip. We’re planning an adventure that will serve as a fitting celebration, allowing the team to unwind, bond, and create lasting memories.
Your donations to our fundraiser are much appreciated.

Jackson Elementary started a theater program in 2022 in cooperation with Omaha Performing Arts and Disney Musicals in Schools! The mission of Disney Musicals in schools is to develop a sustainable theater program in Elementary Schools. We began last year by selling tickets to our show, doing a bake sale in December and selling concessions at our show in March. This year we plan to do the same fundraisers, add a costume sale in September and sell concessions at some other school events. We also want to raise funding to take our student participants to see the Broadway version of The Lion King at the Orpheum theater in March!
If you would like to help us get started with our current production Aladdin, or donate for student tickets to see the Lion King- please consider making a donation below! We’d also love to see you at our show on March 1st or 2nd at Jackson Elementary! Links to tickets will be available in January.
Based on the iconic animated film, with an Academy Award-winning score by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, Disney’s Aladdin KIDS is sure to send audiences soaring on a flying carpet ride filled with romance and adventure.

Iago, Jafar, the Genie, and more are here in Disney’s Aladdin KIDS, a musical adventure filled with magic, mayhem and the power of love. Specific to Disney’s Aladdin KIDS are the Djinn, a group of unique stage magicians who execute the magical moments of the show.
The shows are March 1 and 2 at 6:30pm at Jackson Elementary in the Gym. The door to the gym (back side of the school) will be the entry door and the door will “open” at 6:00pm. Tickets will go on sale in January and ALL tickets will be held at will call.
