#Proud2bMPS

Thank you to the MPS Foundation and D.J.'s Dugout for sponsoring our Employees of the Month!

The Board of Education Student Showcase honors students with top honors in local, state and national competitions. The award to each honoree is provided through the generous support of the MPS Foundation.

The Board received the Early Childhood Program Report last night. As of this spring, 947 students are enrolled. Eleven Millard schools host preschool programs. Ongoing community partnerships with Millard's Early Childhood program include the Omaha Children's Museum and the Omaha Public Library.

Congratulations to our staff doing amazing things!
