MILANO NEWS

Milano Elementary School is hosting a Book Fair this week. Times are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Friday, Nov. 2, in the school cafeteria. Book fairs hold a special place in my heart and are some of my fondest memories from grade school.

MILANO EXES—The Milano Ex-Students Association are holding 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 and tea/coffee. To-go plates will be available. Proceeds will 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. For more information, contact 512-429-0335.

PROJECT GRADUATION—The Milano Project Graduation group 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 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.
