Dear OHS Families,
We had another wonderful week at OHS! We hope that your students are coming home and sharing wonderful stories from their classroom experiences. _____________________________________________
This week we are highlighting
Naomi DaPaz, our School Social Worker.
Hello Orchard Hills families,
My name is Naomi and I am the school social worker at Orchard Hills. We have various programs in Milford available to families in need that I help coordinate.
-The first resource is a weekend snack bag program for children. A bag of snacks is provided in a nondescript bag on Fridays to go home for families in need.
-Secondly, if your family is in need of energy assistance, food assistance , clothing, etc.- the Department of Human Services in Milford has many programs to help families. They can be reached at 203-783-3253.
If either or both of these resources can be helpful to your family, please feel free to privately email me, anytime throughout the school year: ndapaz@milforded.org or (203) 783-6684. All information is confidential.
Thank you,
Naomi
