The #MilfordSoar Junior High Quiz Bowl finished up their season at the Seward Civic Center today, buzzing their way to the quarterfinals before losing to #1 seed Fairbury in a back-and-forth match. This season has had a lot of personal and team victories, with the team best being the #2 finish at ESU6! Great work, JH Quiz Bowl!

Next week will see #MilfordSoar Quiz Bowl return to Seward for the last meet of the school year. This match is open to 8th-11th grades as a preview for next year's high school teams. Students who are interested in joining the team next year should try the practice Quiz Bowl questions posted on QR codes throughout the school and sent out via email and come to Mr. Leuenberger's room Friday during 4th period to get signed up for this meet.

This past Saturday 37 mentees and 31 mentors in the TeamMates Mentoring Program attended the Nebraska Football Spring Game. This was a fun memory for both mentees and mentors! Thank you to our dedicated mentors for their gift of time. #milfordsoar #teammates

Bobby Meyer (Class of 2009 ) and his wife, Jenna Meyer, brought literally one of the biggest tow trucks in the world, to the Milford Preschool morning class on April 11.  Their son Ryder is a member of our class.  We were very happy to have them.  Thanks a ton! #milfordsoar

Here are the results for the Milford Invite held on Wednesday, April 12. #Milfordsoar finished 4th as a team.  Kellen Kubicek finished 4th overall and Chase Nitzsche finished 10th overall.

The Girls on the Run team ran to Farmers & Merchants Bank today with treats and thank you cards. The bank once again donated $50 for each of our 30 girls to participate in GOTR which covers 2/3 of their tuition. We wouldn’t have near the participation we have if it wasn’t for them and it would be a huge opportunity missed for so many girls. Thank you Farmers & Merchants Bank! We appreciate you!! #milfordsoar
