Mrs. Shelli Mueller's
4th grade class recently submitted art work in the Geneva Women's Art Council Contest. Cayden Hartmann placed
1st and Wyatt Motis placed second.
Mr. Brian Murphy’s Social Science Classes at
Exeter-Milligan have been covering a wide variety of topics this
semester. Currently, the Post World War II History class is just getting
started with a unit covering the 1980s. The class spends a great deal of
time discussing current events and how earlier events have influenced our world
today. Post World War II History looks at events from both world and
American perspectives. The American History class recently completed a chapter
on the early Cold War. We are now starting a unit on 1950s culture.
World History is just completing World War I. During class discussions,
an emphasis is placed on perspectives of other nations and how these influence
major events that follow.
The Exeter-Milligan gymnasium was host to this
year’s jump rope for heart event. Physical Education teacher Mrs. Darcy
White holds the event every other year to get the elementary students
moving. This year she brought her jock jam music to keep the ropes and
the students moving. The elementary students at the Exeter site,
(kindergarten, first and second graders) were mentored by Exeter-Milligan high
school students who spent their period teaching the kids how to jump rope and
use the ropes for different exercises. The students are still accepting
donations for the American Heart Association event, ”It takes a Heart to be a
Hero.”
Celebrating their own
birthday inspired twins Ashley and Meghan Miller to donated blood on their 17th birthday.
The Exeter-Milligan
juniors donated blood for the first time at the Exeter Bloodmobile on February
24th
According to Doris
Hall, the Exeter Bloodmobile coordinator, “We did have a very good turnout.
Everything worked out good that day.”
“We beat our quota by
five pints.” With 37 pints of blood the Exeter Red Cross Bloodmobile was
deemed a success. The ladies from the United Church of Christ served the
lunch and manned the kitchen.
Greeting donors were
Erma Adamson, Evelyn Michl and Elva McBride. Escorting donors were Ginny
Adams, Carol Shaffer and Kathleen Wilbeck. Those who assisted in the
loading and unloading of equipment were Alva Smith, Sterling Dyer, Dan Manwarren,
and Adam Erdkamp.
