EARLY RELEASE— Milano ISD students will have an early release on Friday. Buses will run at 12:30 p.m. The rest of the day has been set aside for parent-teacher conferences. Please contact your child’s teacher for a conference time, if needed.
MILANO EXES—The Milano Ex-Students Association will hold a get-together before, during and after the Eagles homecoming game on Friday, Oct. 12, in the Milano Elementary cafeteria. This is different than the usual Saturday luncheon that had been held in years past.
The athletic booster club will be holding a meal at this time as well. The group will not have a live or silent auction at the gathering, but rather a basket will be available for money donation that will help defray the cost of mailing the meeting notices.
The association will also hold a beef stew supper prior to the high school football game on Friday, Nov.
9. Serving will be from 5 to 8 p.m. and cost is $7 for adults and $4 for kids 3-11 years old.
The menu will consist of beef stew, cornbread, dessert, tea/coffee. To-go plates will be available. Proceeds will also go the group’s scholarship fund.
The association gave out seven $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors in the spring. Donations are always being accepted for the scholarship fund. Please contact Travis Yoakum (512-657-2660), Crystal Denman (512-429-0335), Carolyn Hafley (512-455-2473) or myself (254-718-0133) for more information on that.
PROJECT GRADUATION—Milano Project Graduation is holding a raffle for $1 a chance or six for $5. Prizes include a sea foam green RTIC 45 cooler, handmade solid oak cutting board, tabletop patio heater with a textured steel bronze finish, a handcrafted fall wreath and a $50 gift card.
Drawing will be held Friday, Nov. 9 at halftime of the Senior Night football game. Contact any MHS senior to purchase tickets.
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION—Milano Elementary School is collecting Box Tops for Education again this school year. Those little coupons equal free money for our school and students. Let me know if you need me to swing by and pick them up, or you can send them to Milano Elementary School with your favorite student.
