“We’re partnering with the Milford Public School system again this year due to the overwhelming positive response to our inaugural event last year,” said Ed Faruolo, Board President of the Milford Education Foundation, “Given the pressures that teachers now face, from both inside and outside the classroom, this program is urgent to help teachers balance the academic and emotional challenges of today’s classroom. I know of no other community that offers such a program.”
