Revered ^ordoiA, CrflkvcH In the Hebrew scriptures we read once, "You shall love your neighbour as yourself"; however, we read in thirty-six places to "love the stranger." Jesus, in his time on earth, magnified this teaching. He didn't exclude anyone. Jesus continually showed kindness to strangers. In today's society, there is a fear of those who are somehow different from us, a fear of strangers. This certainly never bothered Jesus. "Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have*entertained angels without knowing it." Kindness breaks down hostility. It breaks down walls that are built between ourselves and 'others'. Kindness arises from compassion, the memory that we are all God's children. Kindness also conveys dignity, by making others feel that they are worthy of being treated with kindness. Some people live their lives hearing nothing but criticism, inadequacy, and downright fear. They will think that this is the way their life should be unless they receive the gift of kindness. Sometimes we must give a person dignity before they can feel that they are entitled to some dignity in life. Kindness is an act of generosity. When we are generous with our kindness, this generosity enables others to realize that their life is a gift and invites them to live that life thankfully. Kindness is described as one of the fruits of the spirit. Here are some ways to cultivate the fruit of kindness in your life: • Draw on your own memories. Reflect on a time when you were on the receiving end of a kindness*. Who was kind to you, and why did it make a difference? It is never too late to be thankful for another's kindness in your life. • Be compassionate towards yourself. No use beating yourself for some past mistake or missed opportunity, just take that step and be kind to another. • Don't put any restrictions on your kindness. Live kiridly. Live kindly for all of God's creation - for people, for birds, for beasts, for every creature. • Don't wait. We only have now. Don't wait to reciprocate kindness. Initiate kindness. You simply cannot give it all away, there is always more. What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

True Words of Wisdom - from the “famous.” "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I’d love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff." — Mariah Carey "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.” — Brooke Shields, during an interview to become Spokesperson for federal anti-smoking campaign. "Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country." — Mayor Marion Barry, Washington, DC. ’Tm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president." — Hillary Clinton commenting on the release of subpoenaed documents. "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." — Al Gore, Vice President "I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix." — Dan Quayle "We've got to pause and ask ourselves: How much clean air do we need?"— Lee lacocca “I’ll know when I know, and until I know, I don’t know,” — Justin Timberlake “I’ll tell you why [religion] isn’t a scam, in my opinion, all right? Tide goes in, tide goes out, never a miscommunication. You can't explain that."-Bill O'Reilly “These rib tips, they’re like the hub on the flavor wheel of life.” — Guy Fieri “I actually don’t like thinking. I think people think I like to think a lot. And I don’t. I do not like to think at all.” — Kayne West “I’ve been on food stamps and welfare. Anybody help me out? No." — Craig T. Nelson in a Glenn Beck interview “It's okay to have beliefs, just don't believe in them.” — Guy Ritchie “There’s much more to life than allof these possessions and everything. And if you want those things, you’re just going to have to work yourself, just like I did." — Paris Hilton “I was faithful at heart. but not faithful all the way.” — Usher, admitting infidelity to Oprah. “What’s my talent? Well, a bear can juggle and stand on a ball and he’s talented, but he's not famous." — Kim Kardashian “The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can’t say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Someone actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex.” — Carl Everett “I love them. Love them. I think the more positive approach you have to smoking, the less harmful it is.” — Sienna Miller “Don’t know what it was about 2nite. but I just felt like a baby bunny smelling a spring flower. Felt good. Like salt and freshly baked bread.” — Justin Bieber “I might fade into Bolivian." — Mike Tyson “It’s really hard to maintain a one-on-one relationship if the other person is not going to allow me to be with other people.” — Axl Rose in Rolling Stone Planting Your Spring Garden For the garden of your daily living: Plant three rows or PEAS 1.

We are excited for another great year! The Can Pitch team is for kids ages 9-14, it is a slow pitch style of ball for kids who wish to continue their ball development. Depending on numbers and coaches we may split this into two age groups. To date we have not confirmed a coach for the T-Ball or Coach Pitch teams but hope to have one in place in the next several weeks. If you or someone you know would be a great fit for this position, please don't hesitate to contact me. Minor ball will start April 30th and run until June 18th. Practice times will be 4:45-5:30pm on Monday nights for T-Ball and Coach Pitch. Can Pitch will run Monday nights from 4:15-5:45pm. We will also be attending two mini tournaments within the county with dates, times, and locations to come. T-ball age group is 3-6 years old, coach pitch age group is 7-8 years old and Can Pitch age group is 9-14 years old. Age cut off for all teams is April 30th 2018. Both teams will require help at the practices and games from the parents. It is not necessary to have tons of knowledge of the game, just being present and offering to help is what is most needed. Our goal is for the kids to have some fun this spring and give them an opportunity to learn some basic skills of baseball. We ask that each team designates one person to be a Team Manager. This is not meant to be a huge job, just simply to be responsible for the team jerseys after each game (collecting and washing them) and helping out the coaches when needed. Equipment that your child will need to play: running shoes, comfortable clothing, water bottle, hat and a baseball glove (with their name clearly written on it).

In George Washington’s days, there were no cameras. One's im­age was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people . were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are 'limbs,' therefore painting them would cost the . buyer more. Hence the expression, 'Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg.1 (Artists know hands and arms are more difficult to paint) As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year (May and October) Wom­en kept their hair covered, while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could afford good wigs made from wool. They couldn't wash the wigs, so to clean them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell, and bake it for 30 minutes. The heat would make the wig-big and fluffy, hence the term 'Big Wig,' Today we often use the term 'here comes the Big Wig' because someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy. In the late 1700’s, many houses consisted of a large room with only one chair. Commonly, a long wide board folded down from the wall, and was used for dining. The 'head of the household' always sat in the chair while everyone else ate sitting on the floor. Occasionally a guest, who was usually a man, would be invited to sit in this chair during a meal. To s'rtin the chair meant you were important and in charge. They called the one sitting in the chair the Chair man.’ Today in business, we use the expression or title 'Chairman' or'Chairman of the Board.' Ladies wore corsets, which would lace up. A proper and dignified woman, as in 'straight laced,' wore a tightly tied lace that resulted in very upright, formal posture. Common entertainment included playing cards. However, there was a tax levied when purchasing playing cards but only applicable to the Ace of Spades. To avoid paying the tax, people would purchase 51 cards instead. Yet, since most games re­quire 52 cards, these people were thought to be stupid or dumb because they weren't playing with a full deck.' Early politicians required feedback from the public to determine what the people considered important. Since there were no tele­phones, TVs or radios, the politicians sent their assistants to local taverns, pubs, and bars. They were told to 'go sip some ale' and listen to people’s conversations and political concerns. Many as­sistants were dispatched at different times, 'You go sip here' and 'You go sip there.' The two words 'go sip' were eventually com­bined when referring to the local opinion and, thus we have the term 'Gossip.' In the heyday of sailing ships, all war ships and many freighters carried iron cannons. Those cannons fired round iron cannon balls. It was necessary to keep a good supply near the cannon. However, how to prevent them from rolling about the deck? The best storage meth­od devised was a square-based pyramid with one ball on top, rest­ing on four resting on nine, which rested on sixteen. Thus, a sup­ply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked in a small area right next to the cannon. There was only one problem. how to prevent the bottom layer from sliding or rolling from under the others. The solu­tion was a metal plate called a 'Monkey' with 16 round indenta­tions. However, if this plate were made of iron, the iron balls would quickly rust to it. The solution to the rusting problem was to make 'Brass Monkeys.' Few landlubbers realize that brass contracts much more and much faster than iron when chilled. Consequently, when the temperature dropped too far, the brass indentations would shrink so much that the iron cannonballs would come right off the monkey. Thus, it was quite literally, 'Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.' At local taverns, pubs, and bars, people drank from pint and quart­sized containers. A bar maid's job was to keep an eye on the cus­tomers and keep the drinks coming. She had to pay close atten­tion and remember who was drinking in 'pints' and who was drink­ing in 'quarts,' hence the phrase.'Minding your P's and Q's'. Personal hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result, many women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee's wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions. When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman's face she was told, 'mind your own bee's wax.' Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term 'crack a smile'. In addition, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt. Therefore, the expres­sion 'losing face,' ILO school Empowering Lifelong Learners Milo Shows for St. Patrick’s Day PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE FOR APRIL April will be a short month for us as we will return from Easter Break on Monday April 9th, this will also be the first day that we will hold auditions for our Milo Has Talent Showcase!

Our Milo curlers Our Milo curlers and guests KIRK’S CORNER: Thank you EVERGREEN THEATRE!!! Yeah! Too bad you couldn’t be at our sessions. What a blast! The students learned stage cues and they created most of our play. The students were so pumped and excited to be part of it! Thank you to those who came out to support our students! Thank you Doug Headrick for enhancing our Senses unit (for grade Is) and Hot and Cold Temperatures unit (for grades 2- 3). Tuesday at 1, he brought the fire safety trailer to our school and we used the kitchen part of the trailer. The outcomes for fire safety will also tie into the two units listed above. The visit was wonderful, thank you! On Thursday, March 29 at 12;00 we had our first Culture Celebration and Potluck.lt was for the grades 1-3 class and I asked them to bring a mini-food dish to represent their culture. I brought a live lobster to represent Acadian culture and whale meat (just kidding -1 couldn’t buy that at Wal-Mart). Our culture posters were hung around the classroom and we had other hand made artifacts there. Thank you for all of the wonderful food! In Math, the Grade Is are recognizing how to pattern count numbers, as well as to write numbers to 100. The Grade 2s are adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers with regrouping. The Grade 3s are reviewing adding and subtracting 3-digit numbers and will be moving on multiplying single digit numbers. All three grades continue to learn strategies for memorizing their basic facts. Paddy visited us again and ‘'vandalized” our class. He taped our desks together with green tape, hid our shoes, and tipped our desks over. He did leave us a wee bit of magic by magically shrinking our Styrofoam hats to his head size. Cool! The students worked together and made beautiful traps, but alas Paddy got away. He left us a super cool voice message! We are wrapping up our units on How We Express Ourselves (Grade Is doing senses and Grades 2-3 doing Acadian and Inuit culture). After Easter, the Grade Is will move on to learning about Milo history and landmarks, while the Grades 2-3 will learn about the geography of the Arctic, the coast, and the prairie region. Junior Bonspiel we placed 2nd in the league - Yay us! I am super proud of our team! Yearbook club will be Wednesdays after school from 4:00- 5:00. Grades 4-9 are welcome to stay with Miss Smith and I to make yet another AMAZING MILO SCHOOL yearbook! April» Milo School • www. miloschool.ca MR. MUNTON’S CUSS Shakespeare wrote, ‘‘April hath put a spirit of youth in everything." When the snow begins to melt, the temperatures rise and the hours of daylight increase, that spirit is more prevalent. I can see that students are eager for those days to come. With that being said, we have been busy over the past few weeks. In junior high Language Arts, we have been investigating literary terminology. The focus recently has been on tone in writing, as we looked at excerpts from famous authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens and E.B White. Students were challenged with the task of deciphering the tone of a text, done by generating clues from the nouns, adjectives and sentence structure used. Mrs. Aiken has also introduced the second unit in the Writing Traits series, which highlights strategies for organizing writing. Some of these tips include putting ideas in a logical order, sticking to the topic and having strong transitions between sentences and ideas. In Social Studies, grade 9 students have been learning about immigration in Canada. We discussed classes of immigrants and factors that influence Canadian immigration policy. Grade 7s and 8s have learned about the Seven Years' War, the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, and differing viewpoints about the significance of different events on the history of Canada. News From Mr. Sifting Oki Nikso’kowaiks litaamiksi’tsik’o (hello, my friends and relatives, nice day to you all) I wanted to share with you on what I have been accomplishing so far at Milo School. As said in the previous newsletter, I have signed up for "Kids Up Front Calgary” for tickets to various shows and events throughout the City of Calgary. The initiative is to reward students who have 90% attendance, last month Ceilidh and Lanie went to see a magic show and Dreus received tickets to go the Flames vs. Blackhawks game. This month, Hayden was one of many who had great attendance and was the lucky student who won tickets to go watch the Flames vs. Sharks on March 16, 2018. In Math, grade 2 students were adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators and did so by learning how to come up with common denominators in order to perform these operations. Grade 8s have been learning how to calculate unit rates, ratios and use proportional reasoning. Grade 9s have been looking at scale factors, and similar triangles and polygons. In 4-5-6 elementary math, students were taught about probability. This included learning about possible outcomes and positive outcomes. We have also just started measurement and looked at perimeter and area. In Physical Education, we had a great time curling! Thank you so much to Jana Bartsch and the other volunteers who hosted us! Badminton is just getting started and is definitely a favourite of the junior high! I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable spring break! Aside from assisting teachers and students in class, I've been having Blackfoot option classes where we talk a little about Siksika culture, language and learning how to play hand games. I have also been able to organize an elder visit from Gerald Sitting Eagle to share stories with all the staff and students throughout the day and to mentor students if needed. Looking ahead, I plan on continuing to help students in achieving success in school, make crafts such as, moccasins with my Blackfoot options class, as well as, plan to have more visits from elders, singers, and dancers. 1*^ ■ April • Milo School • www. miloschool.ca MISS KSRSCHBAUM’S CLASS In our Language Arts we will be continuing our first book club unit called Ready, Set, Adventure! We will also be working on our Analyzing skills through a class read aloud and some student work. If you are available to come and listen to the children read aloud on Monday mornings starting in April, please email or call me and we can arrange it. Words their Way is still going, if you have any questions let me know, Mrs. Aiken is kindly coming into our classroom during the week to work on our Trait Based Writing. Students have begun to examine sequencing in stories. We are finished with Curling, thank you for making sure your children brought all of their equipment. A special thank you to Jana Bartsch, Ian and Barb Godkin, and Grant Turner for coming out to help supervise. The children had a blast! In grade 4/5 we are in the how we express ourselves transdisciplinary theme. This theme is focusing on the following lines of Inquiry: stories and legends, biography and autobiography, and historical perspectives. ■ 5 Grade 6 Students are into the Transdisciplinary Theme of Where we qre in Place and Time. They are currently examining ancient Athens and the government structure. Grade 7/8 science students will beginning their Structures and forces unit, looking into the ins and outs of construction. Grade 9 We have started our Environmental chemistry which will apply concepts that they have learned to nature. Please encourage your students to be studying daily to increase retention for their PAT. GREAT ATTENDANCE = FREE TICKETS! CONGRATULATIONS HAYDEN! Regular school attendance is crucial to a child's education, and thanks to Mr. Sitting Eagle and Kids Up Front Calgary, Milo School honours our students in style! Congratulations to Hayden Cornish, our most recent winner of tickets to a Calgary Flames Game for his great attendance! Thank you to Erika and Justin for supporting your children in their excellent attendance, and for the great pictures and lovely message below! "Hayden had such a great time. Thanks so much for having our school being a part of the Kids Up Front program. It was a very special thing for him to get to be recognized for attendance and to have been drawn for such an amazing reward for that. Thank you to the school and Kids Up Front from The Cornish Family!" April* Milo School • www. miloschool.ca MILO ALPHABETS KINDERGARTEN Hi from the Kindergarten/Pre-K room! On March 20th, our class celebrated 50 days in kindergarten! We celebrated with a party and each student brought in 50 of something to share with the class. We had 50 marbles, 50 Pokemon cards, 50 tractor wheels, 50 cars and 50 buttons! In Language Arts, we are continuing to focus on our ‘letter of the week’ activities and Handwriting Without Tears program. Students are also continuing to work in their journals and are focusing on labelling their drawings, stretching out their words and using finger spages when they write. In Math, we have started a new unit on Sorting. Students will learn how to sort a set of objects based on a single attribute, and explain the sorting rule. In Phys. Ed we are currently learning about soccer and how to move a ball with our feet. Hope everyone has an awesome Easter Week! Some Reminders The students do go outside when it is recess time (unless it is colder than -18) so we would like to make sure that our students don't forget to dress for the weather - this is also important as we are (hopefully) moving into some warmer weather and experiencing a lot of melting. The playground can get quite wet and muddy so sending an extra pair of socks may be a wise choice. Also, please make sure that your child isn't bringing Spitz (sunflower seeds) to school; they tend to make quite a mess even when our students are trying to be careful. One final reminder, we do have technology available for our students when needed in class, if your child brings their devices to school please know that the devices should be staying in their lockers through the school day. Alphabets and more Kindergarten students with their 50 objects for our 50th Day of Kindergarten! • s Miss Smith working with her Milo Alphabets Kindergarten students FOOD THOUGHT Our Nutrition Program continues to evolve and we have been providing daily milk for our students. We did send out a survey to ask parents/guardians to indicate if they’d prefer white or chocolate milk - if parents did not complete the survey then we provide white milk. We are providing food for breakfast and still do provide a daily snack. Please do send food for your child in case they do not like what we serve, or if they need more that what we provide. We are hoping to provide a hot lunch on the last day of each week - information will be sent home as menus are planned. Students in Grade 1-2-3 dressed up for 100 day!

We had such an incredible week with Aaron and John from Calgary’s Evergreen Theatre! In four days they worked with the students to plan, write, practice, and execute three witty short plays about natural, scientific and environmental issues. Well done Milo School and Evergreen, we can’t wait to have Evergren back for their presentation of “The Sinking Island” to our Milo students, and we look forward to working with them once again for our next school year (the week of December 10-13th. This year, half of the cost of the residency was covered from a grant from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. We may not qualify for the grant two years in a row but we believe that this residency is absolutely worth fundraising for - keep your eyes posted for more information! Please join us on Monday April 9th at 2:00 pm for Evergreen’s presentation of “The Sinking Island” - we will have 11 students and 1 staff member involved in the show. “It was fantastic! Couldn't take my eyes off the stage and Steve could hear everything!!” ** Leanne Bertschy “I was most impressed. Voices came through loud and clear, and the kids created hilarious skits that they performed with enthusiasm. Where did the dancing anaconda brothers get their moves?"

He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son,(Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament: Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot forme, like in the old days. Love, Papa A few days later he received a letter from his son: Dear Pop, Don’t dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son: Dear Pop, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie Our branch in Milo continues to listen.

The auditors have arrived and left and if all goes well we should have an audited report in early April. We have also received our property and liner assessments. Therefore, this year the residents of Milo will receive their assessments by the end of March 2018 (step 1 towards the final municipal tax levy). Any complaints or questions on your annual assessments can be directed through the Village CAO, which will then be forward to our assessor. As most of you are aware the Provincial Budget was tabled on March 22, 2018 and therefore Council and Administration will be finalizing our 2018 property tax levy (step 2) for our residents. Each municipality’s share of the provincial education requisition is determined by applying the provincial uniform tax rates to the 2018 equalized assessments. The 2018 uniform tax rates are $2.56 per $1,000.00 of equalized assessment for residential and farmland property and $3.76 per $1,000.00 of equalized assessment for non-residential property. This year Council and Administration objective is to have the 2018 Village Tax Notices (step 2) out by the end of May 2018 which will then allow some additional time for our residents to remit. A couple of initiatives that have been in progress are completed and/or near competition. Our Community Mission, Vision and Value Statement after public consultation will now be finalized and posted on our Community web site. An important ingredient towards promoting corporate strategic direction, community growth and development. You probably have noticed or heard that our web site is being modified with additional information pertaining to our history and community. That a great influx of community pictures of activities and events being displayed that really high-lite our passion as a hospitable Village. A special thank- you to all that have contributed towards this endeavor. The process for up-dating our web site will continue and the end product I am sure will be very rewarding. Please visit www.villageofmilo.ca for a review. There is still a lot to be done. On another note, the urban revitalization of our main entrances is right on schedule. Our banners are near completion and will be shipped sometime in April. The committee on flower beautification and communities in bloom will be assembled shortly in order to plan and finalized this segment. Decorative solar street lights will be added on both sides of the down town core to provide that additional charm and visibility. We are just waiting to hear approval on our grant proposal that was submitted to Fortis for this initiative. Our main promotional video of Milo is nearing completion and will- be released at an open house that will be advertised in the very near future towards the promotional growth of our community. Council would like to inform you that some of the 2018 capital projects identified previously are underway and that additional research by administration and finalization of project costs by your council is receiving top priority. The ones that is currently underway but not limited to: > Community Marketing Growth Initiative (in progress) > Urban Parkway, Commercial Revitalization (in progress) > Municipal Office Technology (in progress) > Village contribution to Fire Association (Confirmed) > 2 Street North pavement (MPE Engineering Ltd) Village reviewing contractual agreement. > Curb Stop Rehabilitation (existing summer 2018) > Sidewalk Improvements (existing summer 2018) > Water Plant and Sewage Lagoon repairs and up-grades (existing summer 2018) > The replacement of the old Post Office (research cost and building design in progress) > 14 Village Hydrants to be Flushed and Tested, (new summer 2018) We look forward to the month of April and as the dissipation of snow begins our community initiatives will prevail and flourish. It will be a very interesting and exciting summer. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for the support and guidance shown by my family, council, loyal and dedicated staff that go above and be on, the residents of Milo and Area. It is greatly appreciated.
