On March 8, 2016, several hundred high school
students from Milton and Edgerton participated in
an interactive learning experience at MHS known
as "Reality Check". Thank you to all our local
businesses, citizen volunteers, and staff who

FUN FACT OF THE WEEK
Who has the Region's Only K-12
1:1 Technology Program?
ANSWER: Milton!
At the very heart of the quality educational
experiences we offer students in Milton are our
amazing teachers and support staff and the
relationships they build with our students and
parents. To support their work, we are proud to
have the region's only K-12, 1:1 technology
program.
At their last meeting, the Board of Education
renewed the lease with Apple for the 1:1
technology program. This lease will provide all
students with new iPads or laptops for the 20162017 school year. This great news comes at no
additional expense to taxpayers, as the lease
renewal maintains the same lease payment we
budget for annually in our existing budget.
