Dear OHS Families,
Thankful November
We are thankful for our learning community and the support of our many stakeholders, families and staff members. We hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and find time to be with loved ones and rejuvenate.
Thanks For Giving News: Here is a note of thanks from the Thanks for Giving Annual Food Collection Committee. You can see how much our school's participation means to the success of the drive and the major impact that it will have on Milford families.
Thank you to all for your support and participation in this year's event. This project would not be successful without the support and generosity of the Milford community, especially the school system. This year's event collected 331 turkeys, will feed over 300 Milford families and received over $4000.00 in donations that will be used to provide food to those in need. This year, more than ever, we relied on the school system for support and you all responded with donations that exceeded our grandest expectations. Without a doubt we could not have met our goals without your support and generosity. Clearly Milford is a small city with a big heart. Once again thank you. My best to each and everyone of you for a happy and healthy holiday season and new year.
