It has been a JOY!

Milford Families and Staff,

As the school year comes to an end, join us in reflecting on the many lessons learned and the incredible growth we have all experienced this past academic year. Whether the learning happened in our classrooms, at home, on the field, or within our greater community, we hope you had the chance to experience JOY in the process of learning and JOY in your interactions with members of our Milford School District Community.

Over the summer months, please take the time to take care for yourselves. Continue to seek JOY in all you do, and all our community has to offer. Give your loved one's extra time, patience, and high fives from all of us in the district. Visit our library. Walk our Mispillion Riverwalk. Explore the park downtown. Engage with the CAN-DO Park. Visit our Farmer's Market. Soak in an extra sunset or dare to take in an early morning sunrise for those hidden moments are often where learning and JOY can be found, and memories are made. Please take time to enJOY all that summer offers, make those memories, take care and know we are looking forward to welcoming you all back to school next August.

We are grateful and overJOYed to share we will be shifting our focus from JOY to BELIEVE in the 2024 - 2025 academic year. We want all stakeholders in our Milford School District Community to know we will be diligently working to prepare for the upcoming school year with a renewed commitment to BELIEVE in our Buccaneer potential, goals, and one another. We will continue to be guided by our District Strategic Plan and are eager to collaborate with all of you as we continue to chart the course to excellence.

Respectfully,

Milford School District Administrative Team
