Miles River Parents and Guardians,

In the aftermath of the tragic events on Monday, 4/15, we at Miles River are hope-filled that all in our community continues to support each other through the seemingly answerable loss and confusion these events bring on all of us.

As the information continues to unfold on the various media outlets, we share the following resource as we continue to support our children as the days and weeks unfold.

We look forward to seeing our students back on Monday, please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Mr. D

Thanks to the work of Ms. Koch and Ms. Clark, we welcomed speakers from the Best Buddies organization today.  We had the majority of the school sign a large banner:  "Wipe out the R word" that will hang as a reminder of how to support our collective human dignity.

Have a great long weekend.
