Exeter-Milligan Girls lose Heartbreaker in CRC Semi-Final

 Exeter-Milligan girls went cold in the second quarter of their semi-final game against Meridian at Hampton high.  The girls beat Osceola Thursday night in their first round of CRC action to meet Meridian who they defeated at home 44-27 last week.  That second quarter where the only two points came from Cameran Jansky's free throws came back to bite them hard.  Leading Meridian 43-42 with eight seconds on the clock, Meridian had control of the ball and launched a three pointer to win the game 45-43.  The Lady Timberwolves will meet BDS for the third time in the last few weeks for the third place game on Saturday at 6 p.m. in Osceola.

Record Breaking Snow Storm

 Exeter received over a foot of snow on Monday, Jan 25.  Schools were closed Monday and Tuesday with a late start on Wednesday.  The wind came up on Wednesday and Thursday with blowing snow making roads treacherous again.  Area kids are enjoying all of the giant snow piles! After a dry fall and early winter it seems we are going to get a winter's worth of snow in just a few weeks as another large storm is predicted for next week.

To raise funds and awareness for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Sheffield promised to sport the magenta look if the group raised over $400.00 during their recent fundraising efforts. 

According to FCCLA advisor Mary Lou Vossler the group raised "$848.00 from our events.  We raised $353 from the Pink Out raffle, $81 during the shot for a pop and $175 with cookie sales."

Adding to the total were the staff members who donate to wear jeans on Fridays and chose to contribute their Denim Days' collection to the pot.

The Exeter-Milligan elementary students had the opportunity to watch The Nutcracker before Christmas break this year, courtesy of American Midwest Ballet.  The ballet company typically has matinee performances in Omaha for school students to attend, but provided a free viewing this year due to Covid-19.  The classes learned routines to several songs from The Nutcracker  for their virtual concert this year and were excited when those pieces were performed by the dancers. The battle scene, falling snow, and costumes were highlights for the students. Pictured are the Milligan site elementary students watching the performance.

This year the Webelos II group chose cars as the theme for the banquet this year so all the dens will be making invitations and decorations to go along with the theme.

 

The Tiger cubs have been learning how to make change and sew on a button.  They will also be sharing their "collections" and making family picture frames.

 

The Wolf Den worked on their wood project, making recipe card holders.  They also sanded the recipe card holders in preparation for painting their projects at home. When they finished they played the pie tin washer game.

 

The Bear Den made wooden tool boxes and learned to measure, pre-drill holes and assemble the boxes.  They cut the wood for the handle.
