MHS Weekly Updates!
9/17/2021
Thank you to MHS Staff & Student Leaders for making our Open House such a success! An informative night was had by all and we are looking forward to a great year for all of our students!
As I said at Open House, we have so many opportunities for our students to be involved at Milton High School. Please take some time to review our Clubs & Activities Fair Brochure and see what you want to do!
Masks
As we settle into the 4th week of school, I ask that all families continue to encourage their students to keep masks on during the day while in the building. This means masks stay on over the nose and mouth and appropriately fit. We are asking all staff to speak with students who are unable to comply with this state mandate and let administration know when a student continues to struggle with this expectation. Thank you all for your help and cooperation.
Dismissal Notes at MHS
We understand that students may need to be dismissed from school from time to time to attend appointments. Please be sure to send your student with a note to the Main Office on the morning of the dismissal. We will give your student a pass to report back to the Main Office at their dismissal time so you don't have to wait! A dismissal note in advance will greatly help our Main Office efficiency. Thank you!
Milton Glows Gold
Are you ready for some football??
The MHS Football game will be GLOWING GOLD at Saturday's 1pm home game at Brooks Field. Wear your gold (or yellow) for childhood cancer awareness. The players, band, and cheerleaders will be accessorized in gold so be sure to show them support!
The Milton Glows Gold committee will be on site sharing information on the Walk/Run/Ride and collecting donations for the Michael C.McHugh Foundation.
Thank you for your support of Milton Glows Gold! Milton Glows Gold!

There are many ways to participate in Milton Glows Gold and the 1st step is to sign up to join the Run/Walk/Ride now. When you sign up, join your school team so you can start amassing miles in support of families impacted by childhood cancer. After you register and start logging miles, you can ask your family and friends to support you in your effort to raise money and awareness for families impacted by childhood cancer.

Shout Out!
I am always so proud when I hear about MHS students making a difference for others. This summer Bersabel Tadesse and Kai Poles volunteered as teaching assistants for five weeks at Educational Divide Reform (EDR) Institution's Step Up program. This program taught hundreds of students in grades 4-8 who face educational opportunity inequality due to economic/cultural/language barriers. Bersabel and Kai carried out intensive tasks to support younger students, demonstrating a great sense of responsibility, empathy, teamworking, and maturity. Their strong work ethics and excellent leadership were impressive.
