Exeter-Milligan Update: Learning About Bees

1st Grade News by Sharon Lott

First graders at E-M Elementary had a visit from Mr. Larry Light, a former beekeeper and Mikey Bartu's grandpa. He shared with us a lot of information about honeybees. The first graders were given booklets with pictures and bee facts and coloring pages. The highlight of the day was when Liberty Johnson got to dress up in Mr. Light's beekeeper uniform.

Make a Difference Day – Giving Back in America

“Make a Difference Day” will be observed again this year in Exeter by the G.F.W.C. Exeter Woman’s Club on October 15^th.

This event is one of the nation’s largest days of serves and takes place each October in America.

The Woman’s Club members in Exeter prepare plates of cookies and as they deliver the plates to the Exeter Care Center and to people in the community they take time to visit with them as well.

It can be so easy to make a real difference in people’s lives.  This could mean doing things as simple as giving a warm embrace to our family members, a friendly smile and hello to someone you meet at the store or on the street.  These simple things can “Make A Difference” in the lives of others and in our lives as well.

Exeter-Milligan Update: Math Matters

Mary Kay Pribyl's Math Matters class at Exeter-Milligan is reviewing the different sets of numbers. As we discussed which sets several rational and irrational numbers belonged to, we also put these numbers on a number line across the room.  Pictured is Broc Mueller showing his excitement as he puts a number in the correct place on the number line.
