Throwback Thursday" 02/17/2013

Exeterites saw between 6 - 8 inches in the Weather Channel named Storm Q.  While totals predicted were up to 14-16 inches a dry atmosphere depleted the moisture in the storm disappointing many from area farmers to school children.  Exeter-Milligan students enjoyed a snow day on Thursday and a late start on Friday.  More snow is predicted for the area on Sunday and Monday.

The Fantastic Frogs continue to "hop" their way through the Reading Mastery Program!  One of their favorite activities is to read words on the ipods.  Each time a story is read, Mrs. Kara Myers charts the words they had difficulties with.  These words are then put on a flashcard app on each individual ipod for each "frog" to read.
