Theta Tau Alpha, Milo Adventist Academy girls’ club, planned a recent Spring Family Weekend that attracted a full house of family and friends.
Each year, Milo honors a family as a representative of those who give so much to the Academy and this year gave the award to Stan and Elizabeth Brinkley, of Roseburg, Ore.
Their son, Wayne, graduated from Milo this year, and the school will miss their frequent presence and constant willingness to tackle any job and tirelessly stick to it until it is done.
The Family Award from Mitchell Hall, the girls’ dorm, this year went to Lloyd and Janet Klineburger, of Silverdale, Wash., parents of sophomore Tianna Klineburger.
Emery Hall’s Family Award was given to the parents of Craig Miracle, Mike and Teresa Ford, of Anchorage, Alaska.
Events during Family Weekend included a Saturday-night musical presentation of “Little Princess,” a Sunday-morning mother-daughter brunch, softball, and special Sabbath services, led by Pastor Carl Wilkens, Pastor Chuck Burkeen of Springfield, Ore., and student musicians and their families. •
