Hey, Milan Staff and Students! We miss seeing you at school! Did you see @MilanAthletics post? Show your Milan Pride by posting a picture in your Milan Black and Gold! Maybe it’s from an event this year, or a team, or a group of friends or family. Let your Milan Spirit shine! Tag us @MilanSchoolCorp and #weRmilan

Congrats to Ben Hartwell as he was recognized as a regional academic all-star by the Indiana Association of School Principals! This program recognizes seniors who excel in the classroom, are actively involved in their schools and communities, and take on leadership roles.

This Friday is crazy black and gold day!! Milan Indians of all ages let’s see your school spirit and dress in black and gold. We are in it to win it. Let’s Beat Covid-19. Stay home and dress in your favorite school colors. Send pics to @MilanAthletics for retweet

We have been informed that Hoxworth has suspended the mobile bus blood drive collections. Because the national need for blood supply is great, we are currently looking at other options to still host the blood drive at MHS on March 31st. We will post details as soon as they become available.

MHS will be hosting a blood drive on Tuesday, March 31st. Due to school being closed because of the coronavirus pandemic, the blood drive will now take place in a Hoxworth Blood Drive Bus that will be parked OUTSIDE of the Milan High School gym. Hoxworth needs more donors than usual as they are in the midst of a national blood shortage brought on by the outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus). They have assured us that there is no risk of contracting the virus by giving blood as it is a sterile process. Everything will be cleaned and they will make sure no one is put at any additional risk. Milan High School is hosting a blood drive:   Tuesday, March 31st 10:00am-12:30pm & 2:00pm-4:00pm Donor bus will be parked by the MHS Gym entrance Schedule online at: www.hoxworth.org/groups/milan or contact Hoxworth by calling 513-451-0910. Donors must be 16 or older. Walk-ins will be accepted if space allows. Two donor buses will also be collecting at Margaret Mary Hospital the same day from 8am - 5pm Please spread the word about the blood drive to your family members and friends because the national blood bank could use all the help they can get.

What have you done today to become better? Athletes just a reminder that you can do things at home to stay in shape. Be creative and share your ideas with friends. Make sure to stay up on your classes!! When we get back to school you want your body and mind ready to go. Don’t let time away affect your performance on the field or in the class. Control what you can control!!

Physicals scheduled for April 1st have been postponed until further notice.

Best way to stay on top of eLearning assignments is to get it done as soon as you get up in the morning! Make it part of your daily routine! #besteffort

All athletic activities for Milan Community Schools are cancelled until further notice. (Practices,conditioning,banquets,weights, open facilities, etc..) Updates will be given when available.

Physicals will be April 1st at MILAN HIGH SCHOOL from 3:30-6:30. Physicals will be FREE. There is no reason why an athlete should not take advantage of this!! Update your final forms and print the physical. Thanks @OrthoCincy and High Point Health.

Thanks to Ripley County Health Director Dr. Welsh for meeting with county superintendents and nurses today to provide helpful updates on the best prevention during this public health challenge. #weRmilan
