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!

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.
LINKS FOR THE PSAT (click on to open)
FREE SAT FOR SENIORS
On Wednesday, October 11th, Milton High School will offer the SAT for
SENIORS ONLY at
no charge. There is no essay with this examination. This is also an Early Release Day. The 9th-11th graders will be taking the PSAT on this date.
FREE PSAT/SAT PREP FROM KHAN ACADEMY
The College Board and Khan Academy® have partnered to make practicing easy and personal. At Khan Academy, you can access thousands of questions approved by the College Board, take four official SAT practice tests, and create personalized study plans based on your results.
Taking an SAT practice test is good practice for the PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 because the assessments measure the same skills and knowledge in ways that make sense for different grade levels.
