Future kindergarten

Board OF Education VIII Make
Effort To Secure Location

During the past few years the
Milford Board of Education has
sponsored a kindergarten at the
Lake Avenue School. Since funds
are not provided by the State of
Delaware for kindergartens, this
operation has been based entirely
upon tuition paid by parents. The
Milford Board of Education has
been very happy to render this ad-
ditiOnal service to the parents of
the school district.
Looking to the future, however,
enrollments reveal that the space
now occupied in the Lake avenue
building by the kindergarten will
need to be used for an elementary
classroom during the school year
l954-55. Therefore, as far as the
Lake avenue school building is
concerned, kindergarten facilities
will be discontinued.
