Thanks to the staff for recognizing me on Secretary Day. News from Milo School: The kindergarten to Grade 6 classes went to the Calgary Zoo on April 5th, 2005. They enjoyed spending time with the giraffes, the tigers, the monkeys, the night creatures, and the elephants. They liked it when they went to the park, dressing up as animals, holding different and unique animals. Payback Time A 3-year-old son opened the birthday gift from his grandmother and found a huge red water pistol. He squealed with delight and headed for the nearest sink. The child’s mother was not so pleased, turned to the grandmother and said, Tm surprised at you, Mom. Don’t you remember how we used to drive you crazy with water guns?” Mom smiled and then replied, “I remember." Daddy’s Trick “Oh, I sure am happy to see you,” the little boy said to his grandmother on his mother’s side. “Now maybe Daddy will do the trick he has been promising us.” The grandmother was curious. “What trick is that?" she asked. “I heard him tell Mommy that he would climb the walls if you came to visit,” the little boy answered. The staff breakfast was delicious and the flowers were beautiful. "You are such a great group".

The answer is really quite simple, the people in the communities do everything in their power to make that longevity a reality. Barb Godkin, of Milo, is a prime example of the way people make their communities what they want them to be. She gives of her time to the Milo Municipal Library, Friends of Milo Library Society, Milo Can Opener, Milo and District Ag Society, Milo Fire Department, Milo Curling Club, and the Milo School Advisory. Her volunteer work was recognized this year at the Community Learning Network's annual conference held in Calgary on Apr. 12. Godkin came home with the Outstanding Community Adult Learning Award something her list of nominators believed very strongly that she deserved. She was nominated by Sherry Malmberg, Chairperson for the Vulcan County Adult Learning Council, in her letter of nomination Malmberg said, "I could go on for hours with examples of all the fabulous work this woman has done for Adult Learning in southern Alberta." That nomination was in turn supported by Paul Matlock, secretary of the Vulcan County Adult Learning Council, Liz Sansome, Carrol Thomson director of Family and Children's Support Services in Vulcan as well as the Adult Learning Co-ordinator, Carol Robertson. Robertson was on the Community Learning Network board the year this particular award was developed so according to her, she has "a special place for it, a vested interest of sorts." Robertson is thrilled that Godkin won the award. "She is so very deserving,"said Robertson. "She brings such a special value to our Adult Learning board." Godkin has served on what is now known as the Vulcan County Adult Learning Council board for 18 years. This article is courtesy of the Vulcan Advocate.News from the Milo Is and 2*s Yikes! As I sit and type this, there are only 36 days of school left (remember...grade 1 concept...counting backwards ©). In my limited experience, I have observed that there is an inverse correlation between the number of days of school left and the energy and excitement level of a 7 year old. It's wonderful being a part of their excitement, and I only hope that some of their energy rubs off on me. On April 5th, the K to grade 6 classes traveled by bus to visit the Calgary Zoo. The weather cooperated and we had a terrific day. The students were divided into three groups and then each group attended an educational program. The K - 2's participated in Am I Bugging You? and they were a very attentive audience. They were delighted to gain some "hands-on" experience with a Madagascar hissing cockroach and a millipede that was at least 15 cm long (which meant its girth was pretty big, too!) We learned a little about classifying and sorting insects, and we learned how some insects are masters at camouflage. The grade 3 and 4 classes attended the Life Cycles of the Young and Slimy. The grade 5 and 6's attended the Wisdom of Gorillas. After a quick lunch—picnic style on the grass, we headed off to see as many animals as the time would allow before heading back to the bus. Special thanks to Penny Heather for getting us safely there and back, and again thank you to the Parent Teacher Group for funding this year's visit. We had many parents and chaperones join us that day as well, so thank you for your help. In Science, we are currently studying the Needs of Plants and Animals, and I want to say a special thank you to Adrienne Deitz for loaning our class her pet hamster, Hooey. The kids have really enjoyed looking after him, and we especially liked it when he was rolling around the classroom in his little ball. He really is a very good navigator and the teacher accidentally only kicked the ball once. He is soon going to be the main character of many a good story written by the grade 1 and 2 s. He has already inspired the students to brainstorm some excellent ideas. The week of April 18th to 22nd, G-Nel Nelson hosted visits from each of the K to 4 classes at the Nelson farm. While there students were able to see ducks, chicks, guinea hens, llamas, a donkey, cats, dogs and very new little puppies. The students had the opportunity to hold all of the baby animals, as well as pet the donkey. G-Nel found a guinea hen feather for each of us and gave us a generous sample of llama's wool as well. G-Nel also treated us to juice and a cookie afterwards. A sincere thanks, G-Nel, for your kindness and many thanks to all the parents that drove that week. On April 19th'the staff and students were treated to a bar-b-qued hamburger and chip lunch and back by popular demand again in May is the "taco-in-a-bag“ hot lunch. Can't wait! The plants that the grade 5 to 9‘s were recently selling are expected to arrive here the week of May 2nd to 5th. Hopefully the weather will have warmed up again by then. On May 12th, Sun Ergos, a two-man company of theatre and dance will be performing at the Milo School. Everyone is welcome to attend. The program begins at 1:00 p.m. The Greek meaning of Sun Ergos means “working together". These actors have made it their mandate to explore the similarities and differences of world cultures in order to promote greater compassion and understanding". Check out their website at sunergos.com if your interest is piqued and you want to investigate a little further, but in the meantime accept this as your invitation to attend. Perhaps we’ll see you there!

Children are precious and to protect them it is essential that all road users, including children, refresh their knowledge of the rules of the road. Drive safely to enhance pedestrian safety Keep these safety tips in mind when you drive, particularly around school, playground and residential areas: • Scan farther down the road and be careful to obey posted speed limits. • Use caution when approaching intersections or mid-block crosswalks. Parked or stopped vehicles may hide a pedestrian who is crossing the road. The fine for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk is $575. • Do not pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk to allow a pedestrian to cross. It is against the law and the fine for passing another vehicle stopped at a crosswalk is also $575. • Always be prepared to slow down or stop. • Avoid loud musi
