APRIL 17, 2023 — Holi is a popular celebration amongst the students at Ethel Milliken School. Because staff happily welcome many newcomers and families who celebrate Holi, they felt it was important to share this amazing tradition as a school.
The entire population at Milliken participated in the Colour Festival, which is part of the popular Hindu Festival. The Hindu festival celebrates spring, love and welcoming a new life. This festival is very colourful, providing an environment to let loose by singing, dancing and throwing colour powder paint and coloured water.
APRIL 17, 2023 — Battle of the Books is a friendly competition in which students compete against each other using their understanding of 10 selected books. The goal is to read all 10 books among the team members; however, each individual is not required to read the total. How many books each member reads will depend upon the member's reading speed, reading level and interest in the books. Teams will perform better if each book has been read by at least two team members. The reading begins in the fall and continues until the competition. The teams meet regularly to practise.
