More than a building - it’s a space for growth, creativity, and connection. Be Fearless. Be Legendary.

[greenstatemac @greenstatemac]

Last week, our team had the opportunity to visit the construction site of the future GreenState Millard Activity Center and see the incredible progress happening inside the building.

While walls are still going up and floors are still being poured, it’s already exciting to imagine the impact this space will have on kids and families across our community. This was also a chance to simply pause and say thank you to our entire Spark team for an amazing school year. 💚

At Spark, there really is no “off season.”
We move straight from the school-year program into summer programming - and we’re already looking ahead to all the possibilities this new space will bring.
Some future Spark programs will call the GreenState Millard Activity Center home, and we truly believe students are going to love it here.

There’s still a lot under construction… but the vision is already becoming real.

Stay tuned - and for now, here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at how it all looked last week. ✨

A major win for Millard families and young athletes! 🏀🏐

This new collaboration will provide families with greater access to:

⚠️ We almost posted these photos too late… because if we waited until tomorrow, there would already be even more progress. 😅

But we had to share a quick look at the future GreenState Millard Activity Center today - and WOW.

Every time we walk through the building, it feels more real. The walls are going up, the spaces are taking shape, and the excitement keeps growing right along with it.

We’re incredibly grateful to our partners, contractors, and everyone helping bring this vision to life. Seeing how quickly this project is moving is both exciting and inspiring. 💚

And the best part? This is only the beginning. Soon, we’ll start sharing more behind-the-scenes updates about how we’re preparing for opening day, what’s coming inside the facility, and all the ways this space will serve our community for years to come.

It’s happening… and it’s happening fast. 🚧✨

The closer we get, the more you’ll see us on site 👷‍♀️

We stopped by the GreenState Millard Activity Center this week to check in on progress - and it’s exciting to see how quickly everything is coming together. Construction is moving forward right on schedule, and every visit makes it feel more real.

Right now, we’re deep in conversations about opening - planning, preparing, and making sure every detail is ready for the community.

From paper to reality - and it never stops being impressive. You look at the drawings… and see doors. Then you walk the site, and those same doors have a place, a scale, a future.

Huge thank you to the BCDM Architects, Lamp Rynearson, and Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture, who think through every detail -
and to the construction team, Sampson Construction, who bring those ideas to life every single day.

And most importantly - thank you to our community! Your support, your belief, and your involvement are what make this project possible.
This is how something meaningful takes shape.

We’re also continuing to build strong partnerships around this project.
If you’re interested in getting involved, we’d love to connect - please reach out to Ryan Patrick [email protected].

Introducing the Endeavor Challenge Course at the GreenState Millard Activity Center 💚

We’re excited to bring something truly unique to our community - the Endeavor Challenge Course, a dynamic, multi-level adventure experience designed to inspire movement, confidence, and growth.

Students will have the opportunity to climb, navigate, and challenge themselves in new ways - building teamwork, resilience, and self-confidence along the way. From first steps to final zip line moments, every part of the course is designed to create meaningful, hands-on experiences that go far beyond fun. Because growth doesn’t happen on the ground - it happens when students take that next step, a little higher.

And it’s not just for students. The Endeavor Challenge Course will also serve as a powerful space for adults - ideal for leadership retreats, team-building experiences, and professional development. It’s an opportunity to step outside the usual environment, strengthen collaboration, and grow in new ways together.

Stay tuned - this is just the beginning.

GreenState Millard Activity Center is taking shape - and it’s happening thanks to our incredible partners.

Together with Sampson Construction, we’re making steady progress every day.
More than two-thirds of the roof is now in place - a milestone that truly changes how the building feels.

Standing here, looking through fresh green leaves, it’s hard not to notice how quickly everything is moving - not just construction, but the season itself. Have you noticed how fast the trees came to life this year?

Spring is here. Summer is ahead.
And by late Fall, we open the doors.

No, it’s not launching Artemis II. But for our community, this center matters just as much.

Because this is where moments will happen.
Where connections will grow.
Where something bigger begins.

At the future GreenState Millard Activity Center, our multi-user classrooms are currently in development, and they are being imagined as flexible spaces that can adapt to many different needs.

While the final design is still evolving, these rooms could potentially be used for a variety of purposes, such as:

💡student collaboration and small-group learning
💡workshops and enrichment programs
💡meetings for clubs or student organizations
💡professional development for educators
💡community gatherings or educational sessions

The goal is to create spaces that are not limited to one function, but instead can support new ideas, programs, and partnerships as they grow.

Because the best spaces are the ones that can change with the needs of students and the community.

Stay tuned as the vision for the GreenState Millard Activity Center continues to take shape.

The story continues.

Over the past months, we’ve been sharing the progress of the GreenState Millard Activity Center, and this week gave us one of those moments you stop and just look - the first sections of the roof are now going up.

Thanks to some cooperative Nebraska weather, construction crews have been able to keep moving, and now you can finally stand there and imagine it: courts filled with games, practices after school, tournaments, parents in the stands, and kids walking in with big expectations.

It’s no longer just drawings and plans.
It’s becoming a place.

We’re grateful to everyone who keeps supporting this project and following along with us. This center is being built not just for today’s students, but for thousands of kids who haven’t even stepped into a gym yet.

And yes! There is still room to be part of its story. Sponsorship opportunities remain available, and Ryan Patrick would be happy to talk with anyone interested in leaving a lasting mark on the future of Millard.

For now, we’re just excited to share these photos with you. Every week it looks a little different… and a little closer to opening day.
