Last week, Boyd E. Smith Elementary kicked off their annual Walk-A-Thon with a special visit from none other than Ms. Piggy from the Flying Pig Marathon!

Students got moving with fun exercises, silly movements, and even relays as we launched into this year’s healthy-habits challenge. The energy and excitement set the perfect tone for the weeks ahead of walking, running, and building momentum together.

Check out some of the highlights from this oink-tastic event below

Physics was put to the ultimate test last week in Mr. Sevachko’s AP Physics class with the annual Egg Drop Challenge. This year, students took it all the way to the top of the Eagle Stadium bleachers—no parachutes allowed.

To raise the stakes, students were randomly assigned one, two, or even three eggs to protect. The results? A mix of triumphs, close calls, and yes… a few eggs had to crack under pressure.

Along the way, they explored how ecosystems connect to migration patterns and communities. A hands-on science lesson with a little extra magic!

🇺🇸 What a wonderful Constitution Day! 🇺🇸

Our 4th graders from Pattison and Mulberry Elementary stepped back in time today for a hands-on colonial experience led by Milford’s Teaching Professions Academy (TPA) students. This tradition not only helps students learn about our nation’s history, but also gives future educators the chance to practice their teaching skills.

The day began with a performance in the Zamudio Theater before students rotated through five engaging stations:
Candle Making – discovering why candles were essential in colonial homes
Colonial Games – experiencing the fun of traditional pastimes
Handprint Flag – creating a symbol of unity and pride
Quill Pen Writing – signing our PBIS statement in true constitutional style
Storytime with “George Washington” – history brought to life through storytelling

Nothing better than learning in the great outdoors with some beautiful weather! ☀️

At Boyd Elementary, students tied into this year’s Camping theme by reading Camping with the President along the BES trail—joined by their very own “president,” Principal Espy! 🏕️📚

Meanwhile, at Meadowview, students celebrated Dot Day inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ book. Thanks to trail signs posted with pages of the story, students enjoyed reading and learning surrounded by nature. 🌳

This isn’t just about volleyball—it’s about supporting youth mental health and spreading awareness in our community. Join Milford Athletics on Friday, September 20 for our annual Volley For a Cause Volleyball games!

The goal this year is to collect 500 items for Impacting Tomorrow, a nonprofit organization that provides food, clothing, and essential services to support healthier lives. We’re asking fans to bring donations to the game such as feminine products, diapers, and fragrance-free items to ensure comfort for recipients.

The evening will also feature Unified Cheer, a bake sale, raffle baskets, split-the-pot, and t-shirt sales—with all proceeds going directly to Impacting Tomorrow.

Come cheer on our Eagles, enjoy a fun night with the community, and help us reach this important goal.🦅
