Dear ESMS Families,
We had a wonderful week at ESMS and hope you and your family enjoyed the snow day today!
Throughout the year, there are many celebrations focused on acknowledging the history and contributions of different groups. Black History Month began on February 1. Milford Public Schools continues our commitment to celebrating diversity and the unique gifts and experiences of our Milford Public Schools students, families and staff that make our community so special. Our ongoing goal is to provide opportunities for all learners to see themselves within our curriculum.
