GFWC Woman's Club Arbor Day Program Coming

The annual GFWC Exeter Woman's Club Arbor Day "A Tree for each New Baby" event will be held Friday, April 27th.
Invitations are being sent to new mothers and their babies in the community to attend.  A program will be
presented at 10:00 AM at the United Church of Christ fellowship hall welcoming those present and a tree planting will
follow.  A small tree will also be given to each child to be taken home and planted in their yard.

New parents who do not receive an invitation should contact 266-4331 or  576-3444 as soon as posible.
We want to be sure that every baby born since last April's Arbor Day will be included in our celebration.  Families
 must reside in the original Exeter school district to participate.  We also welcome fathers, brothers, sisters, and
 grandparents along with others in our community.  Bring along your cameras.

Exeter-Milligan Update: Math Musings

Math Musings by Mary Kay Pribyl, Exeter-Milligan Math Instructor

The Algebra I classes have been studying the rules for exponents and applying these rules when adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing polynomials.  The students illustrated the rules and gave presentations to the class.  We had a variety of good presentations including posters, keynote presentations, and i-movies.  Pictured is Jarett Maxson and Dalton Zelenka presenting their poster.  Also pictured is Robert Harre and Dusty Axline with their i-movie.

Exeter-Milligan Update: Reading Group

Audrey Betka-Mager's Reading Mastery group at Exeter-Milligan has completed one book and is excited to be starting a new book!  They are currently reading the story of "The Wizard of Oz" which has several chapters.  Each lesson starts by learning new vocabulary words and meanings, followed by reading a story.  Independent work is done to check reading comprehension.  A paragraph is also written to reinforce writing skills.  Fluency checkouts and a mastery test are conducted every 10 lessons.  Members of the class are L. to R. Front Row:  Olivia Murphy, Ty Underwood, Clint Oldehoeft, Brock Steuben and L. to R. Back Row:  Jackson Beethe and Casey Jindra.  Not Pictured:  Cayden Hartmann.
