Grant Recipient: Where Everybody Belongs Program
The Milford Schools Foundation grant was used 100% to support PBIS initiatives for students at Milford Middle School. The funding helped provide weekly PBIS award winner incentives, school store prizes, quarterly raffle rewards, and Tier 2 PBIS supports for students participating in our Check-In/Check-Out behavior intervention program.
In addition, we used a portion of the grant to incentivize and reward students on attendance improvement plans. We saw incredible value and success from these efforts, with students responding positively to the recognition and encouragement. These students were motivated to attend school not only by the tangible items (Owala water bottles, Milford swag/gear, Lego sets, etc.), but, most importantly, they thrived with one-on-one staff check-ins and accountability.
Overall, MMS is a wonderful place for both students and staff because of the strong PBIS infrastructure and culture built around our core beliefs: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Ready. The grant allowed us to reinforce these expectations daily while celebrating positive behavior and growth.
We cannot thank the Milford Schools Foundation enough for its generosity and continued support. Merging six elementary schools into Milford Middle School has not been an easy task, but the district's core beliefs and the Portrait of an Eagle have truly shined through, creating a 6-8 family. The Foundation's investment has played an important role in helping us build a positive, supportive school culture where all students can thrive.
