Time does not stand still in
Exeter-Milligan! Mrs. Kara Myers reading group, The Smart Cookies, are
enjoying their trip through time while reading a story about two young boys who
find a time machine and travel to many different places and through many
different times. So far we have “traveled” 40,000 years ago to the time
of the dinosaur (mammoths, eohippuses, and saber tooth tigers...oh my!), 5,000
years ago to the pyramids of Egypt (amazing how they built those pyramids with
what little tools they had), and 3,000 years ago to Greece during the Greece
and Troy war (all for the love of a women, Helen). We have also visited
Spain in 1492 (Christopher Columbus) and San Francisco in 1906 (the earthquake
was quite scary). These Smart Cookies have also seen 4,000 years in the
future (or what it might be like)! After reading about a certain time,
the Smart Cookies draw pictures of what they learned during that time and place
and put them on the class timeline, which takes up half the class!
The Exeter-Milligan Speech Team gave a strong performance and finished in third
place at the Meridian Speech Tournament on Saturday, February 11th.
Special congratulations go to Becca Vossler, who placed first in persuasive
speaking; Deidre Stevens, who placed first in entertainment speaking; and Liz
Murphy and Deidre Stevens, who placed second in duet acting. Liz Murphy
also placed third in serious prose, and Toni Bossaller was awarded a fourth
place medal in poetry. Overall, the team has revealed during competition that
their abilities are improving significantly from their ongoing efforts to
perfect their pieces. The team considers the comments from previous
competitions valuable as each member prepares to face some very tough opponents
in the upcoming meets.
The Timberwolves rolled over the Longhorns
racking up 22 points in the first period. In the first few minutes Exeter
scored five with Nate Bigelow adding two more to make it seven to zip.
Jalen Maxson sunk one from the free throw line to make the score nine to
nothing. Derek Luzum sunk the last bucket of the period bringing the
score 22-0.
The Timberwolves continued to hold the Longhorns
scoreless until there were 5:45 minutes left in the second period.
Sluka was on fire in the second period making
several impressive shots bringing the score to 32-4. Dalton Zelenka sunk
a three pointer bring the half time score to 37-9.
The Timberwolves continued to oppress the
Longhorns closing the third period at 51-15. A three pointer from Kyle
Jensen ended the game at 63-26.
