    Our Milton Terrace Daily Promise/School Rules:

    I promise to be kind, be safe, and do my best EVERY day!

    This is a promise that the children and staff make daily. It is our job as educators to relate daily situations back to this promise in order to help children make real life connections and follow through with being kind, safe, and doing their very best.

    Are you being kind right now? Is that a safe choice? Is that your very best?

    These are simple questions we can refer to throughout the day.

    Kids Care Volunteer Organization:

    A great way for children to be able to “shine their lights” is through helping others. It is important for children to recognize that we are all important members of our community, and that no matter how big or small, or old or young we are, we can all work together to help others around us. With that in mind, each grade level will choose one volunteer project to complete during the school year. Our school-wide volunteer project will be ‘Penny Harvest’.
