Apply2College Day events at Milford High School provided not only an opportunity to apply to colleges, but a variety of opportunities to help seniors write a better story. The MHS staff and volunteers hosted a variety of stations for the seniors to complete. All MHS Seniors had the opportunity to apply to one or more colleges, celebrating this milestone with a photo booth and door prize entries. Seniors wrote and delivered Thank You notes and a sweet treat to MHS staff members, learned about etiquette dining and enjoyed a nice fall weather walk to Pizza Kitchen.
While practicing the etiquette dining skills with a catered meal by Pizza Kitchen staff, Keynote Speaker, Jill Johnson shared her pieces of advice as seniors prepare for not only graduation, but for life after MHS and the journey they choose. Jill challenged them to think about the advice they would share with their 17 year old self if they had to do it all over again.
The seniors later listened to a Financial Aid Presentation and created student FSA ID accounts. Andrea Baker provided information to assist our seniors with maintaining their health and wellness throughout their senior school year and transitioning into living away from home. A current KHOP (Kearney Health Opportunities Program) student, Alumnus Avery Roth, explained the benefits as a KHOP student and the process and advice to creating a strong application for this competitive scholarship. The seniors ended the day with a celebration of activities in the North Gym, hosted by Ken Burkhardt and Cody Gregory. Before the door prizes were drawn, Rose Kenney shared closing remarks reminding the seniors of the importance of taking personal time to do something enjoyable, physical, or relaxing, that for 20 minutes while they were laughing and having a good time, the activities allowed them to forget the stresses they are dealing with. As individuals, forcing yourself to take a break will actually increase your productivity and memory. Thank you to all Milford community and staff members who supported this day in any way!

Since last Spring, 4th graders at Milford Elementary have been following the journey of Milford graduate, K'lena Schnack, as she hikes the Pacific Coast Trail. The trail is 2,650 miles from the border with Mexico to the border of Canada and passes through California, Oregon, and Washington. K'lena began her journey on April 18th at the Mexican border. She is now in Washington State and expects to reach the Canadian border sometime in September. This week, we celebrated K'lena by adding a message to our reader board and sending a card with encouraging messages. Our students are proud of the story she is writing.
Here is a look at the planned activities for August 25 - 29. The JV Softball tournament is at Seward Monday.
REMINDER: There will be no school on Monday, September 1, for Labor Day, and Tuesday, September 2, for Staff Inservice.

Bring back your reading challenge card to your teacher or Mrs. Volkmer by September 12th for a chance to win lunch with our literacy coordinator or a token for the book vending machine! Let’s make reading a daily habit worth celebrating! 🦅
