Millard Board Members were honored last night for Nebraska's Board Appreciation Week. The Board and a student representative from Millard North, Millard South, and Millard West attend Monday evening's Board meetings. The Board is also active in school and community events throughout the year. We appreciate all they do!

When curriculum materials are updated, the community is invited to review the materials our staff have selected to support the Millard Education Program. The two curriculum areas currently receiving new materials are preschool through 12th Grade English Language Arts and 9th through 12th Grade Child Development. You are invited to visit with staff and explore these materials during one of two open houses.

The dates are Tuesday, February 17th and Thursday, February 26th. The time for both nights will be 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and the location will be the Ron Witt Support Services Center, 13737 Industrial Road, Omaha, NE. We look forward to welcoming you!

Congratulations to our staff doing amazing things!
