PSAT DAYPSAT
PSAT on WEDNESDAY, October 10
Parents and Guardians, Please mark your calendars: it is critical for all 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students to be in attendance on this testing day. We kindly request to consider NOT checking your child out of school for any reason during that day so they can complete the entire test. There are NO MAKE UP SESSIONS for the PSAT. So, if they do not finish their test in one setting, they will not receive a score. It is also an early release day, so students will be dismissed at 12:30PM. 
PREPARING FOR THE PSAT
Please ensure that your child has a good night of rest and a healthy breakfast. We will send PSAT study guides (free of charge) home on Monday, September 24 so students can get familiar with test procedures, test-taking advice, and complete a practice exam.

Why is it important for my child to
take  and do well on the PSAT?
  • It helps students navigate their path through high school toward college and career, and offers a range of unique benefits to students.
  • The National Merit Scholarship Program uses PSAT/NMSQT scores to identify candidates. And scholarships offered by new College Board partners use information from the PSAT/NMSQT to expand access to scholarship dollars. 
  • Students who take PSAT will have access to video lessons and will receive personalized SAT study resources based on their test results. Their Khan Academy® practice experience is tailored to meet individual student needs.
  • Using results from the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT, AP PotentialTM helps schools identify students likely to succeed in certain AP courses and AP Exams. These students are also notified of their potential directly.

PSAT test fees for 9th and 11th graders are paid by Fulton County school system. PSAT test fees for 10th graders are paid by Georgia Department of Education. PSAT is critical for college and career readiness.

HOMECOMING WEEK PEP RALLY
This year, rather than a pep rally during school, we will be holding a Homecoming Pep Rally the night before the big game on the front lawn, Thursday, October 18 at 6:30PM . We are planning to make it a full community event by inviting parents, alumni, students, elementary/middle school families, teachers, etc. We will be having a live band and several food trucks there along with other normal pep rally festivities (football team, cheerleaders, drumline, dance team, etc.) There will be activities and booths for young kids, making this a perfect family night out. Come build excitement for Milton's homecoming weekend! 

LIP SYNC BATTLE
To add to Homecoming festivities this year we will be adding another event to the lineup - "Homecoming Lip Sync Battle". Students will battle it out as they lip sync songs to a live audience in hopes of winning the grand prize. All students can audition as individuals or groups on October 11 in the Aux Gym at 4:00PM - props and costumes are welcome. The show will be open to the public on Tuesday, October 16 at 7:00PM for $5 in the Main Gym.

MANY v CANCERCANCER
Cross Country Captains join Many vs. Cancer
Each year, our generous Milton Cross Country Team reaches out to our community to donate money to a charity chosen by our team Captains. The Captains carefully choose a fundraiser that will serve to raise awareness and funds to an organization that will have a meaningful impact on our team and its family members. This year our fundraiser is: Men's Health- Raising Awareness and Funds for Prostate Cancer. "1 in 9 Men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime" At this time some of our MXC families fall into that statistic. We will work hard this season to not only raise funds but awareness for this quietly discussed cancer and topic. Please click HERE to learn more about the project and to make a donation. Thank you in advance for your generous support! After all, it takes more than one person to defeat cancer. It takes many.

THEATRE FUNDRAISERDRAMAFR
Milton Theatre's Annual Fundraiser runs until October 16! Theatre families are selling $20 raffle tickets for a chance to win one of three (3) CASH prize drawings of $5,000, $3,000 and $1,000. This will be the largest fundraising effort for MASK (Milton Actor's Support Krew), and will be of tremendous help in meeting the 2018-2019 costs of the program such as annual expenses, cirque equipment and theatre technical equipment. Without these funds, Milton Theatre Company would not be able to provide such high quality training and performance opportunities.
Winners will be drawn at the closing of our final one act play, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, on October 25, 2018. Must be 18 or over to enter. Thanks for supporting our program!
