Mrs. Miliffe's commitment to her students extends beyond academics. As her principal stated in Mrs. Miliffe’s nomination, she is an amazing teacher who goes above and beyond to support her students emotionally and academically. Through hands-on and engaging activities like the "Presidential Madness" lesson, she not only educates but also inspires her students to think critically and develop essential life skills. Mrs. Miliffe's impact is felt not only by her students but also by her colleagues, whom she supports tirelessly.
