Here we are done with one more marking period. Conferences are next week March 19th and 20th. We are really hoping to see as many of you as possible to celebrate your child's learning, discuss their future goals and moving to high school.

We had a great Science Fair/Literacy Night on Monday Night. Lots of displays to show and activities to enjoy here at Milwood. It was a fun night.

Here we come Spring!
