Exeter-Milligan Senior Logan Zeleny signed with Central Community College on Wednesday, March 26th.  Zeleny will play catcher this fall as the Columbus catcher.

The Applied Science class has been studying Siege Machines and each student has built model catapults.   By varying the projectile size and tension used to power the catapult, they investigated how far the projectile traveled.   They also made trebuchets, shown in the picture.   They calculated how much mass they need in order for the projectile to hit a wall that was placed a set distance away.

Exeter-Milligan students were invited to select their artwork to compete in the Exeter GFWC Woman's Club Art competition.  The winners of this competition were taken to the district GFWC competition in Seward.

Exeter-Milligan Update: Happy Birthday, Nebraska!!!

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Nebraska!!!!

By Shelli Mueller, Exeter-Milligan 4th Grade Instructor

 

Exeter-Milligan fourth graders celebrated Nebraska’s 157th birthday. We had ice cream and Capri suns. It was so nice that we were also able to enjoy the Nebraska sunshine for an extra recess in the afternoon. The students thought we should celebrate Nebraska’s birthday every day.

Exeter-Milligan Update: Spanish Update

 

Spanish Update

By Lisa Ricenbaw, Exeter-Milligan World Language Instructor

 

Spanish 2 students at EM have been working diligently to form and use usted and ustedes commands.  As part of their learning, they created commercials to convince the class that their restaurant was the best and that we should all come to eat at their establishment. In addition to commands, they used new vocabulary for food and flavor. Next, they will be working on creating a cooking segment and giving specific instructions from delicious recipes of their choice. 

 

Pictured L-R are: Andrew Vavra, Savana Krupicka, and Troy Kallhoff

The Exeter Chamber of Commerce served several hundred people at their annual Free Pancake feed on March 10th. 

Kara Myers’ reading group, the "Shining Stars,” are "soaring" through the Reading Mastery series.  They are proud to announce they have successfully finished Signatures 1 (orange book) and are now embarking into Signatures 2 (green book)!  They will continue to sound out difficult words and read well and quickly.  They will learn how to remember information that is important and how to use that information to answer questions.  These "bright" students will be able to read with better understanding for subjects like science and social studies.  They will also work on important writing and language skills.  Best of all, they will continue to find out that reading is enjoyable!

Exeter-Milligan Elementary students turned on the lights and pulled up the current for the Spring Concert on Tuesday, March 11 in the Milligan gymnasium. Guests were invited to enjoy the Elementary Art Show before and after the concert.

Tied at half-time in front of an over capacity crowd at Lincoln East, the Storm just blew into Lincoln a little bit harder than the Timberwolves.  The Timberwolves came back from a double digit deficit in the third and fourth quarters but only got within four points before the buzzer sounded at the end of the game.  The T-wolves had a great season and once again gave Exeter and Milligan a group of student athletes to be proud of.  Thanks!  High Plains Storm 49 - 45 Exeter-Milligan Timberwolves
