SADD Alcohol Awareness Month
By: Caleb Prozanski, Brody Lack, and Landon Morgan
Alcohol Awareness Month is Alcohol-Free Weekend, which takes place on the first weekend of April to raise public awareness about the use of alcohol and how it may be affecting individuals, families, businesses and our communities. During Alcohol-Free Weekend, extends an open invitation to all Americans to engage in three alcohol-free days. Those individuals or families who experience difficulty or discomfort in this 72-hour experiment are urged to contact local affiliates, Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon to learn more about alcoholism and its early symptoms.
Alcohol Awareness Month was established in 1987 to help reduce the disgrace so often associated with alcoholism by encouraging communities to reach out to the American public each April with information about alcohol, alcoholism and recovery. Alcoholism is a long-lasting , progressive disease, genetically predisposed and fatal if untreated. People can and do recover, in fact it is estimated that as many as 20 million individuals and family members are living lives in recovery!
Alcohol Awareness Month provides a focused opportunity across America to increase awareness and understanding of alcoholism, its causes, effective treatment and recovery. It is an opportunity to decrease disgrace and misunderstandings in order to demolish the barriers to treatment and recovery, and to, make seeking help more readily available to those who suffer from this disease.
National Network of Affiliates and other supporting organizations across the country will use this opportunity to address the Nation’s 1 public health problem through a broad range of media strategies, awareness campaigns, programs and events in their local communities.

Band Concert
By: Karley Bushhorn, Adam Volz, and Charlie Jackson
The Milan Middle School Band had a concert on Sunday, March 6th. The concert was a blast. We couldn’t have done it without Mrs. Bedel. This concert was a moving point for the 6th grade band. The 6th grade percussionists got to play their drums and many different instruments.
The 6th grade band played “Enchanted Wizard,” “Phantom Ship,” “La Mosquito Lento,” and “Dance of the Droggs.” The 7th grade band played “Lightning,” “National Emblem,” “Eagle Point Overture,” and “The Legend of Queen Anne’s Revenge.”
The concert was amazing. All the bands had a blast. We owe it all to Mrs. Bedel! She challenges us to our potential that we have. Thanks Mrs. Bedel!

April Fools' Day is celebrated every year on the 1st of April by playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes. The jokes and their victims are called April fools. People playing April Fool jokes expose their prank by shouting April Fools! You don’t want to keep the joke in for too long because the victim might take it the wrong way. Well, sometimes people want to make the prank last longer, but that might not be the right thing to do.
Here are some instructions for some friendly pranks!
Make caramel…. ONIONS?

Large onions
Caramel sauce
Popsicle sticks
And someone to prank!
Directions: First take one large onion and take off the skin. Next cover them in caramel sauce, and let them dry.
Put a popsicle stick inside and you’re done! Someone will think they are apples, but when they take a bite they are actually pretty nasty!
For this one all you have to do is turn the milk any color with food coloring and it will turn that color. Then, just pour a glass of milk and set it on the table.

Autism Awareness By: Isabel Kroner and Trey Mattl
Best Buddies is a program that represents the people that were born with a disability, or have developed a special need over the years. Best Buddies also includes people that have signed up for Best Buddies. These certain people can “hang out” with their “buddy or buddies” such as having them over at their house to spend time with them, or to take them out to see a movie, or something like that.
Since April is Autism Awareness month, our class thought we should honor Ms. Amelung and Ms. Parr for all of their hard work as in helping with these “special” students that go to Milan.
For Autism Awareness Month, we will be honoring Ms. Amelung and Ms. Parr for working with their students that they have during the school day, that have a disability or autism. There are many “disabled” students that are in Best Buddies. These students are important here at Milan Community Schools. If these students didn’t have these teachers here at school, they would not know as much of the information they do now.World Health Day By: Lydia Clark and Jessica Money
World Health Day
Green=Lydia Clark Pink=Jessica Money
Health! Health is important to everyone. Every Thursday, April 7, The World Health Organization (WHO) celebrates this every year, with every year having a different theme. This year, it is diabetes. The WHO has an estimate of 347 million people having diabetes. Some of the previous themes for the years include 2015, with food safety, 2014, parasite diseases (it is more centered around mosquitoes than anything else), and 2013, which is healthy blood pressure.
In 2012 WHO focused on good health. Its slogan was “good health adds life to years”. Life expectancy is going up in a lot of countries, but birth rate is failing. They wanted to make better health centers such as hospitals, and dentist offices. In 2011 the theme was “Antimicrobial resistance and its global spread”. In 2010 it was “urbanization and health”. Their slogan was “1000 cities, 1000 lives”.
World Health Day is a minor holiday, but it is also major for being a day mainly focused on health.Milan Middle School Track By: Ashton Meyers and Cole Knecht
