Cassidy Clothes,

by Denice Kovanda, Exeter-Milligan Guidance Counselor

 

The Exeter-Milligan kindergarten girls received very special presents at school this year.  A very generous lady named Rita made this possible.  Her project is called Cassidy Clothes.  Twenty two years ago  her grandson was a baby and needed a liver transplant.  A little girl named Cassidy passed away due to a congenital heart condition.  Her family donated the liver that saved Rita’s grandson.  To honor Cassidy,  Rita has been donating dolls to hundreds of children.  She not only buys the dolls, she and her friends make beautiful clothes for these dolls.  This is the third year that EM has been on the list to receive these dolls.  Rita’s act of kindness made the EM kindergarten girls smile.

Exeter-Milligan Updatees: Fifth Grade News

 

5^th Grade News

By Madalynn Fousek, Exeter-Milligan 5^th grade Instructor

 

The 5th graders finished up our unit on ecosystems. They each created a biome that included species and vegetation specific to their environment. Each student chose an animal and plant to research more about and included that in their final research report. They all created some awesome biomes and reports and were able to share their findings with the class!

Exeter-Milligan Update: Third Grade

 

Laura Steuben’s Exeter-Milligan third graders were celebrating their winter MAP accomplishments. Prior to winter and spring MAP testing, each student sets a goal that they want to achieve to prove that they are making progress. Not only did all of the third graders show growth but several reached or exceeded their goals.
