The Milton Public Schools are asking for support and contributions as part of the “Life Is Good” Festival event which is joining with local partners including the Milton Police and Fire Departments to assemble care packages for local troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. This service event is one of thousands of taking place across the country on 9/11.

In support of this effort, Superintendent Gormley is organizing a donation drive.
