MILTON THEATRE-ONE ACT MUSICAL
GET YOUR TICKETS NOW! SHOWS OCT. 2 & 3 @ 7PM
Don't miss SIDE SHOW, Milton Theatre Company's upcoming One Act Musical Play, October 2 & 3 at 7PM.
SIDE SHOW
is a 2014 Broadway Revival and will be presented by
special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
Based on the true story of conjoined twins, Daisy and Violet Hilton will be played by Milton's twin sister seniors,
Sara and Paige Underwood!
SIDE SHOW
is a beautiful musical about love, acceptance and the importance of celebrating what makes us unique.
Set against the seedy backdrop of an early 1900's freak-show, SIDE SHOW follows the journey of two, real life, conjoined twins, Daisy and Violet Hilton. Following World War I, America was on the upswing of the roaring 20's. Airplanes, locomotives and automobiles ushered in a new era of opulence and glitz. While Ziegfeld created, never before seen, extravagance on Broadway, freak shows begrimed the midways of carnivals across America. Any lamentable condition became entertainment fodder for the hungry masses. When the stock market crashed in 1929, the entire country faced hard times and entertainment dollars dried up. SIDE SHOW trains slogged through towns and eked out a miserable existence by showing audiences that there were always those who were less fortunate. The delicate underbelly of this show exposes the vulnerability in all of us. We are all freaks and we all have things, within us, that we consider repulsive. Ultimately, SIDE SHOW is about acceptance, perseverance and that the connection of love, whether physical or emotional, can overcome all obstacles.
YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS SHOW!

ADOPT A TEXAS CLASSROOM
The National Technical Honor Society is participating in #AdoptaTXClassroom. We have received our official match - Goose Creek Memorial High School in Baytown, Texas. We have been in contact with Tanya Barajas and she has stated that many of her students who attend their school live in neighborhoods that received 4 feet of flooding as a result of Hurricane Harvey. We have been receiving supplies here at school and we now have a second option for anyone who wishes to help. If you would like to mail directly to her school through Amazon Prime (or any other company) that is allowed. Thank you for all you have done!

PSAT/SAT DAY - OCTOBER 11
PSAT STUDENT GUIDE
The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, (PSAT) Student Guides were distributed on Friday, September 22 to
ALL 9th, 10th and 11th grade students through HOMEROOM.
All 9th - 11th graders will be taking the PSAT on October 11, 2017 - this is an Early Release Day.
The PSAT is a great tool for students considering college. The PSAT/NMSQT measures critical reading skills, math problem-solving skills and writing skills. At Milton High School all students take the PSAT/NMSQT in order to receive feedback about strengths and weaknesses, enter the competition for National Merit Scholar scholarships (11th graders) and to help prepare for the SAT.
The student guide contains PSAT/NMSQT information, testing taking advice and tips, and an official practice test. If you have any questions about the PSAT, email Heidi Morrison at MorrisonH@fultonschools.org or call 470-254-7125.
We encourage your child to take advantage of the many benefits the PSAT/NMSQT offers:
- Connects students to colleges and universities across the country, and to scholarship organizations.
- Prepares students for the new SAT® and college and fuels practice recommendations on Khan Academy®.
- Matches students with AP® courses that make the most of their academic strengths. AP classes can provide an edge in the admission process, and an opportunity to earn college credit.
Please use the below links to help your student better prepare for the PSAT.

EAGLE PRIDE
ATHLETICS
CROSS COUNTRY
The Milton Cross Country team took home the Wingfoot Cup for the third consecutive year on Saturday at the Wingfoot XC Classic in Cartersville. The Eagles earned the overall title, which was determined by overall places in each of the varsity boys and girls championship races, with a dominating victory in the boys' race and a 4th place finish in the girls' race.
In the boys' varsity race, senior Sam Bowers (2nd) rallied to a new school record over the 5 kilometer course in a time of 14:50. Seniors Nicholas Yanek (3rd - 15:14) and Michael Malkowski (4th - 15:30) followed right behind Bowers, and seniors Dru Milton (14th - 15:52) and Ryan Beitzell (16th - 15:58) completed the scoring for the Eagles who bested region rival and defending 7A state champion Lambert as well as 28 other schools in the championship division.
The Lady Eagles were lead again by sophomore, Abby Rindt (21st - 19:15). Senior Annie Gallagher (32nd - 19:29), juniors Taylor Cushman (38th - 19:42) and Faith Wagner (49th - 19:55), and seniors Emily Bowers (50th - 19:55), Jessie Barnes (54th - 20:02), and Adriana Christenson (90th - 20:38) all turned in strong performances as the girls just missed earning a team trophy. The Eagles will take a weekend off before heading to Greenville, SC to compete in the Gene Mullin Furman Invitational on Saturday, October 7.
CO-ED COMPETITION CHEER
Congratulations to the MHS Competition Cheerleading Program. Both of the MHS Coed Teams WON their divisions while defeating some of the best teams in the state. We would like to thank all of the friends and family members who attended this competition; the crowd support was incredible! Both of the MHS Coed Competition Cheerleading Teams will be competing again next week at Mill Creek High School. Please continue to come out and support the MHS Competition Cheerleading Program.
FENCING
The streak continues! On Saturday, Milton Fencing hosted a very successful tournament and Jake Paris, team captain, earned another bronze medal. The Milton Fencing Team has earned a medal in 9 consecutive rounds of GHSFL tournaments since last August. Nick Braatz earned points and improved his ranking in the men's division. Madelyn Davis and Alexandra Salyer also earned points and both are ranked in the top 10% in the women's division. Mayor of the city of Milton, Joe Lockwood honored the team by attending the tournament. He met with league President Terry White and Vice President Dr. Kathy Vail, toured the new Fencing locker rooms and enjoyed watching and learning about fencing. The team also collected two large barrels of donated boxed and canned goods for North Fulton Charity's Food Pantry and raised almost $200 in support of North Fulton Community Charities. Numerous guests from visiting schools commented that "Milton always does it right!" Kudos to Milton Fencing for continuing to rep the "M"!
