Dear MHS Parents,
Please see attached flyer regarding a new resource that we are excited to provide for our students. We are coordinating with Uplift Milford (local non-profit) to create The Mav Shed which will be located at the high school. The Mav Shed will be a student supply closet that will provide any necessities that the students may find themselves needing throughout the day. The Mav Shed will be open to all students and if needed, additional supplies will be available to take home. We will have several standard items stocked but students may also request additional items that they are in need of. General categories of items stocked in the closet will include clothing, personal hygiene items, snacks and misc items such as school supplies and phone chargers.
MHS parents can participate in supporting the Mav Shed by donating items that are needed. If you are interested in making a donation, please fill out the following google form and let us know the best way to reach you. Adding your name to this list will allow us to reach out periodically and make you aware of which items are needed at various times of the year.

Genisys Credit Union hosted a Reality Fair for seniors in the Personal Finance course at Milford High School. Students selected a job and were given a starting salary along with a credit score. Students, using an app on their phone to track the budget, went to visit Genisys employees at a variety of stations to make purchases for their "life" such as transportation, entertainment, housing, charity, etc. If students went over their budget, they needed to meet with the Career Counselor. It was an eye opening experience for students to see what an impact each decision has on their overall budget. Thank you Genisys Credit Union!

After students read a novel set in post-war Spain, they were tasked with creating a work of art showcasing the intersection of the fictional novel and the reality of the war, using what they learned about artistic expression in the era to inform their own piece.
