On a warm, sunny fall day, fifth-graders Sophie Kalin and Emily Munko are eager to explain what makes Milton’s buddy program so special. For Sophie, “It brings back memories of when I was in kindergarten,” and for Emily, “I just love hanging out with the young kids.” Today, they watch as their kindergarten buddy Malachi Campbell scoops up wood chips off the ground, carefully arranging them around the legs of one of the playground’s benches. He wants to make sure, he explains, that the bench doesn’t wobble when someone sits down. Read more.

Earlier this summer, we were pleased to host former faculty members, alumni, and guests at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine, to celebrate the works of alumna Emilie Stark-Menneg ’02. Guests immersed themselves in her “Thread of Her Scent” exhibition. Emilie shared that “this whole project feels inseparable from my experience at Milton and later teaching at Milton.” To view photos of the event and exhibition, visit www.milton.edu/graduates/events/event-photos.

After much thought and deliberation, Milton’s Board of Trustees, in partnership with the school’s Leadership Team, has decided not to issue institutional responses to external events in the future. Rather than communicating messages about institutional stances or values, our energy will be fully dedicated to Milton’s primary purpose: education, support, and care for students—as it always is. When troubling external events do occur, the school will always act quickly to support its community by providing a variety of resources, educational programming, and other community-based support.
