Pierce 7th grade science classes worked together to measure the Sun's angle in the sky and look at features on the Sun's surface with a hydrogen-alpha solar telescope. Everyone had a great time enjoying the beautiful fall weather, getting a chance to collect data and using sophisticated science equipment.

MHS Football is home tonight against Central High School. It's a perfect night for Friday Night Lights - head to Brooks Field for the 7 pm game to cheer on the Wildcats!
Thanks to Roy Chambers for the photo of the team in action!
Our 6th graders enjoyed their colorful new t-shirts to start the year! It was fun to see so much color around the school and it helped students figure out who was on their teams. Lots of team unity on our 6th grade teams!
Milton Glows Gold in September and so does MPS!
Milton Glows Gold (MGG) was created by the MCM Fund to raise awareness and support for kids battling cancer and to support families with financial assistance. This year, the MCM Fund is hosting Milton Glows Gold in loving memory of Emily L. Butt, who passed away on February 27, 2024, after a courageous battle with leukemia. Emily's vibrant spirit and infectious smile were a gift to all who knew her during her precious eight years of life.
All details on Milton Glows Gold can be found here (www.miltonglowsgold.org) or at the link in our profile. Let's Glow Gold this September, Milton!

Just a reminder that Massachusetts kids can eat at school for free!
ALL of our MPS students are able to receive a healthy and FREE breakfast and lunch every day to fuel their bodies and keep their minds sharp. FYI, any second lunches and additional a la carte items such as milk, water, snacks will be debited from the student's lunch account.
It is still important for families to fill out free and reduced applications if you feel you may qualify. Applications can be found on the food service page (https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application). Completion of this form can help families qualify for other kinds of assistance, including community opportunities.

Earlier this week, 25 Pierce 8th graders in Mr. Lore's Intensive Study (IS) English class walked to Tucker to share writing they have been working on. Our Pierce students engaged first graders in Mrs. Driscoll's class in whole group and small group presentations of children's books the 8th graders authored.
This was a culminating event of a unit in which the 8th grade students read and studied the genre of children's literature and trade books in particular how illustrations connect to text. Each student group wrote and illustrated a children's book with topics ranging from friendship, conflict, differences, and more.
During the closing conversation, Mrs. Driscoll's 1st graders shared that they really enjoyed the fun way the older students used pictures to show the characters and the lessons that they learned. After returning to school, the 8th graders shared that they were impressed by the respect shown by the younger students and that the questions they had were funny and never-ending!
In June, the Pierce students will return to listen to some writing from the Tucker 1st graders. Thank you to Mr. Lore, Mrs. Driscoll, and all the students who worked hard to create this partnership!
