District News

On Jan. 17, the Milford Public Schools staff gathered at MHS for the third session in a lecture series with Dr. Sharroky Hollie from the Center for Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning (CCRTL). Dr. Hollie continues to work with our staff on the mindset, skills, reflection, and response that is required to build a community of learners amongst a group of students with vastly different experiences, backgrounds, cultures, and languages. Talking to, relating with, and teaching students who have such different lived experiences from ourselves and each other demands different approaches in the classroom and in our schools if we want our students to achieve the successful outcomes we all hope for them to achieve. Dr. Hollie has given us much to think about and work on in previous sessions, and we look forward to our continued partnership with him and the CCRTL.

Stacy Middle School

Starting off this new year with a giant thank you to Stacy Middle School staff members Dawn Craig, Meredith Purtell, Maddy Bonvino, Samantha Bonvino, and Aleks Gosz. These kind and compassionate staff members led the way for the Holiday Gift Giving Initiative this past season. This project brings so much joy to so many local children, and supports many families bringing happiness and warmth to their children during the holiday season. With generous donations and sponsorships from across the Miford Public Schools and Milford community, this team was able to help well over 500 children this year that were identified as being in need. Amazing work!

Stacy would also like to highlight the Grade 8 Red Cluster for their efforts sponsoring a canned Food Drive for the Daily Bread Food Pantry in Milford. Thank you to those students, families, and teachers!

The Mindsmatter Club at Stacy Middle School, under the leadership of Ms. Celeste Salley, visited the Blaire House prior to the Winter break. Students made gingerbread houses with the Blaire House senior residents. Everyone had a lot of fun and many friendships were made. Being mindful of others and making positive contributions to your community is good for everyone!

Stacy Middle Schoolmarked the 90th day of school with a fun and nostalgic twist—students and staff dressed up in their best '90s-inspired outfits to celebrate the best decade ever! From flannel shirts and scrunchies to bright neon colors and baggy jeans, the school was filled with '90s vibes, bringing energy and excitement to the milestone day.

Woodland Elementary School

On Jan. 17, Woodland students had the opportunity to virtually meet with Astronaut Clayton Anderson. Astronaut Anderson spent more than 167 days in space serving aboard the International Space Station completing 6 spacewalks. He has also served in various other roles with NASA. Thank you to Woodland STEM Teacher Mr. Kurt Shady for organizing this event and thank you to the Woodland PTO for supporting it.

Woodland Fourth Graders visited Gillette Stadium to learn about architecture and bridge design while also taking a tour of the Patriots Hall of Fame. Thank you to Ms. Pivonka and the fourth grade faculty for organizing this trip! A huge shout out goes to the Woodland PTO for financially supporting it.

Brookside Elementary School

Brookside classrooms have hosted some fun events lately. The MHS Italian Language students visited Ms. Oliva’s classroom prior to break to discuss Italian Christmas traditions with students. Meanwhile, Ms. Cueroni’s Kindergarten class were special guests at a wedding between letters Q and U. The happy couple have pledged to stay together!

Look for Brookside students’ poems downtown! Brookside Second Graders will be writing their own poems to be displayed on the windows and flat bread boxes at the Rail Trail Flatbread Co. Restaurant for Valentine's Day.   

Memorial Elementary School

Memorial School and Jiji celebrated our ST Math Mathematicians. 24 students already met their 100% puzzle progress goal!  Memorial staff will continue to celebrate students who meet their ST Math puzzle progress goal. They will also celebrate students who persevere in problem solving on ST Math. Students will take a photo with Jiji and the photo will be shared with families.
