ATTENTION SENIORS
EXPECTATIONS FOR GRADUATION
Good evening parents and students of Milton's Class of 2017!
As we get closer to our Graduation Ceremony on Thursday, May 25, I wanted to take this opportunity to communicate the expectations for
ALL GRADUATING SENIORS.
Other reminders as SENIORS finish their coursework/exams
-ANY disruption to the instructional day will result in that student (or students) NON-PARTICIPATION in Senior Celebration and/or Graduation Exercises
-
ANY damage to the school or the surrounding property may result in the cancelation of the Senior Celebration if there is any type of clean-up/repair required
-Seniors, be respectful of the school and mindful that there is still instruction occurring until Thursday, May 25!
THANK YOU CLASS OF 2017
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EXERCISE
It is a much revered ritual in educational institutions everywhere. At the end of every school year, graduating students, whether they're little kids in grade school or young adults in college, walk solemnly towards the stage elegantly garbed in their robes and tassels. One cannot underrate the significance of such a moment as every student's journey towards graduation is filled with all sorts of trials and challenges.
However, graduation is not so much an ending but a new beginning. For grade school students, graduation is the beginning of their adolescent adventures as they let go of their parents' embrace and test their wings in high school. For high school students, graduation is the beginning of their journey to self-discovery as they unravel what it is that they really want out of life in college. For college students, graduation is the beginning of their "real" lives as they fly out from the warmth and comfort of the university.
Graduation serves as a catalyst for students to relish in academic achievements and a way for parents to celebrate how proud they are of their children. This landmark in everyone's lifetime is a moment that is definitely worth remembering and cherishing. The graduation ceremony itself is a symbolic event that represents all of the hard work and accomplishments that students have partaken in to earn their status as a graduate.

EAGLE PRIDE
ATHLETICS
Boys Track & Field Team is 4th at State Meet
With Junior Sam Bowers leading the way with his STATE CHAMPIONSHIP in the 3200m run, Milton captured it's first state boys track trophy since 1966! The Eagles (4th-39 pts) bested 26 scoring schools to earn a team trophy for only the 4th time in school history. Bowers state title in the 3200m run (1st-9:16.32) broke the school record that was set in 1999 and is the first individual boys state title in track in over 13 years. Bowers came back to also place 3rd in the 1600m (3rd-4:16.41) matching the old school record. Fellow junior Michael Malkowski was runner-up in the 1600m (2nd-4:15.63) and broke the old school record (4:16.41) and just missed winning the state title by 12/1000ths of a second (see photo!). Malkowski came back to place 8th in the 800m to score additional team points for Milton. Sophomore Matthew Mazzacano (3rd-14') improved on his personal best by close to a foot to score valuable points in the pole vault. His performance is the 3rd best in school history. Fellow juniors Nicholas Yanek in the 3200m (5th-9:23.49) and Davis Smith in the long jump (5th-22'8") added more team points towards the team's 4th place honor.
The Lady Eagles were represented as well as Milton (29th-4.5 pts) bested 10 schools. Freshman Faith Bobak led the charge. Bobak (5th-11:13.38) ran to her 2nd best effort in the 3200m run. Senior Cara Doll also scored for Milton in the pole vault (8th-9'6") to earn a podium spot. Also competing at the state meet for the Lady Eagles were fellow seniors Marie Repasy (10th-11:31.86) in the 3200m & Ryleigh Harris (15th-34'3") in the triple jump.
CONGRATULATIONS ON AN INCREDIBLE SEASON BOTH TEAMS!

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH
This week for Mental Health Awareness Month we are encouraging everyone to be mindful about self-care. This time of year is very busy and stressful. Be sure to take a few moments each day to assess your self-care. Attached are some suggestions to use for yourself or to share with friends and families.
YOGA ON THE LAWN
Come Help Celebrate National Mental Health Awareness Month with Free Yoga! The final countdown is officially on! May is National Mental Health Awareness Month and what a better way to celebrate than to come de-stress and unwind with the counseling department with some Yoga on the MHS front lawn. We know this is a stressful time for our entire school and to help get through these last few weeks, we have invited instructors from Thunderbolt Power Yoga to come to Milton next week to teach two 45-minute sessions before school.
We hope you will come stretch it out with us!
Yoga will be held on the front lawn starting at 7:15AM
Monday, May 15th

Namaste!
