🚨 CLASSIFIED INFORMATION! PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION: 🚨
Last week, Mrs. Nunner’s kindergarten students secretly transformed into superheroes, using their powers of kindness, responsibility, teamwork, perseverance, and respect! 🦸♂️🦸♀️
Thanks to donations from families through Mrs. Nunner’s Amazon Wish List, each student received their very own superhero cape and mask as part of a surprise Super Hero Day. Students created secret identities and learned what it truly means to be an everyday hero in the classroom and beyond.
To protect their identities, these heroes removed their capes and masks while walking the halls… but thanks to their secret bracelets, they could still recognize their fellow superheroes.

Our seniors are signing off.
Today, members of the Class of 2026 celebrated their Senior Sunrise with donuts, treats, photos, and plenty of memories. Students spent the morning signing yearbooks, laughing with friends, and soaking in some of their final moments together as classmates.
While their paths may soon take them in different directions, the memories, friendships, and moments they’ve shared at Milford will stay with them long after graduation day.

here’s always a first.
Your first car. Your first job. Your first... school lunch.
Yesterday, Ms. Cowell’s kindergarten students at Mulberry got to experience their very first school lunch! Since these half-day kindergarteners normally don’t get the chance to eat lunch at school, Ms. Cowell decided it was time for a little practice before they become big-time first graders next year.
Students went through the lunch line, sat together at the tables, and learned all about cafeteria expectations and respectful lunchroom behavior. Safe to say they handled it like pros.
One more way our students are preparing for the future, one first at a time. ❤️

According to the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce, only 4% of public school districts in Ohio charge tuition for kindergarten.
Milford is no longer among them.
We believe a strong start in school builds the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Beginning in the 2026–2027 school year, all-day kindergarten will be tuition-free for every student.
With more time for instruction, collaboration, and exploration including Unified Arts like P.E., Music, Art, and Library our students gain both the academic and social skills they need to grow.
