Milton’s newest school has a name!
The HDSB announced that it would be Cedar Ridge Public School. Details are here.
That got me thinking, though. If you were to name a school in Milton, what would you want to name it? Is there a local person, feature or event that deserves a school named after them?
Let me know!

Daily WTF – Couple says they found safe containing $100K while magnet fishing in Queens
You never know what you’ll find while fishing, and that’s especially true when you go MAGNET fishing. Using a powerful magnet on the end of a fishing line, a couple was able to catch quite the haul. They pulled up an old metal safe, which contained $100,000 worth of bills. Unfortunately for them, the safe wasn’t sealed enough to protect the money. It’s believed they could still take the money into the treasury and get it all recovered. Imagine going fishing and pulling up $100,000! You could buy anything with that money, including fish!

GOOD NEWS – Hiking family discovers rare T. rex fossil
Three boys and their dad/uncle were on a hike when they discovered potentially the coolest thing possible. Something strange was sticking out of a rock that they came across. It looked like a dinosaur leg! Turns out, it was! The discovery led to the recovery of what the Denver Museum of Nature & Science now calls ‘Teen Rex’, which is a rare juvenile T. rex skeleton, one of only a handful in existence. It’s now going on the display later this month. Imagine being 7,8,9,10 years old and finding a T. rex skeleton? That might be better than finding literal gold! And that’s some good news!
