Emily &Maddie Hutchinson and their rescue dog
I doubt when I turned 11 I would want to turn my birthday presents over to someone else but Emily Hutchinson did . She asked guests at her 11th birthday party to bring donations for the Milton Animal Shelter rather than gifts for her.
Why this lovely cat is still at the shelter is anybody’s guess. Hopefully it won’t be much longer. Shadow is a terrific 7 year old spayed female cat who was sadly surrendered due to allergies. She is a beautiful issue free lap cat who’d fit well into almost any family according to staff at the Milton Animal League. Stop by for a visit or give them a call at ( 617) 698-0413.
Once a month, an after school movie is shown in the library for teens. Six movie choices have been posted on Facebook, Tumblr, and at the library in the teen room. Cast your vote at any of these locations. Friday Flicks are after school for students in grades 6-12. Admission is free and snacks will be provided. Please contact Amy Rosa, Teen Librarian, at (617) 698-5757 or aboivin@ocln.org

They may be from the northern climes of Milton but they can belt out country with the best of them. In fact, they are among the best of the them – Kaitlin and Kelli Neville recently won the Horizon Award for Vocal Duo at a national music competition in Nashville.

Today I am formally announcing my candidacy for re-election to the Milton Library Board of Trustees. The knowledge and experience I have gained coupled with my professional skills and passion for our library can be applied to the library’s mission as a vital hub that serves the information and cultural needs of the entire community.
Milton High has some fantastic news to share – and is asking for the community’s help. A group of five Milton High School students competed in a statewide LifeSmarts competition yesterday at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and WON the State title. This group of five students has qualified to travel to Orlando, Florida during the last week of April to represent both Milton High School and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the National Lifesmarts Championship. Congratulations to Jack Caljouw, Albert Enyedy, Maryam El-Sayed, Cormac Conners and Chris Ricciuti, along with Coach Nancy Mikels.
