MILFORD, CT — Renovations to Pumpkin Delight Elementary School were completed recently.
The project involved a “comprehensive transformation of the building, featuring a new gymnasium, a new kitchen, a cutting-edge STEM lab, a flexible student breakout area, and a state-of-the-art media center,” according to Milford Public Schools Communications Coordinator Emily Flamme.
A ribbon-cutting last week celebrated the opening in the new gym.
“These renovations were driven by the need to modernize the building to align with contemporary educational standards,” Flamme said.
The renovations started in fall of 2022. The project cost about $17.5 million.
“These new spaces are not just physical upgrades—they represent our commitment to providing every student with the resources and environment they need to thrive academically and personally,” said Sherrod McNeill, principal of Pumpkin Delight Elementary School, at the ribbon cutting ceremony.
“We believe in setting high expectations for our students here in Milford, and we know that with the right tools and support, they can achieve remarkable things. This renovation is a testament to that belief, and we can’t wait to see how our students will rise to meet new challenges, explore new ideas, and engage with the world around them in these incredible spaces.”
