Congratulations to Collicot's Keating Kwiatek from Ms. McDonough's class, who is a featured reader on the MPL's Dial-a-Story service during the month of November!
As a reminder, Dial-a-Story is a Milton Public Library service where folks can call 617-915-1915 anytime and listen to librarians read stories and tell jokes. The content changes monthly, and for a while now they've been including guest readers - usually kids - who read a picture book in the Dial 6 slot.
Keating is reading Sleepy, the Goodnight Buddy by Drew Daywalt, and November stories are posted now (they'll be live all month long). Please give a call and hear Keating read!

Last week , Pierce eighth grade students traveled to the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Dorchester to partake in a simulated US Senate session and a live floor debate about voting rights in the United States.
Upon arrival students entered the "Senate Chamber", a full-scale replica of the chamber in Washington DC. After introductions and an overview of the day's proceedings, students were separated into teams, met in smaller workspaces, and learned about some of the important issues our government is addressing today around voting rights, such as gerrymandering, voting by mail, required identification to vote, voting age, etc. Students then headed back to the Senate Chamber for a floor debate about the issue and eventually voted on whether to approve the voting bill before them. Many of our students stood during the debate to share ideas and opinions about voting in America.
Each eighth grade team had one day dedicated to their visit, with Pierce students visiting the Center on three different days, and we are grateful to the Kennedy Institute for this opportunity for our students.

Hmmm, they swear it wasn't them but our Cunningham French teachers sure do looked pretty bejeweled!

The Tucker Garden is thriving!
Tucker Garden Club students have harvested more than 165 potatoes and more than 255 carrots in their all organic and compost rich school garden this week alone. These future expert gardeners are learning where their food comes from, trying new vegetables, and having a lot of fun playing in the dirt and looking for bugs.
Thank you to Garden Club Advisors Mary Beth Callahan and Veronique Vendette for their dedication to the garden and their students!

Did you know that Delicata Squash is a zero-waste veggie? The seeds and skin are both nutritious and delicious and this squash is rich in vitamin A which improves night vision and eye health.

Pierce students in Sra. Avila's Spanish B class recently explored famous hispanics, then focused on Frida Kahlo and her very famous quote, "Feet, what do I need you for, when I have wings to fly." Each student then contributed to creating our community wings, which can be found outside their classroom. Pierce students and staff were invited to check them out, and "try" them on!
In Spanish C classes, students discussed Fernando Llort, a famous artist from El Salvador that helped create community and introduced art to a once struggling part of El Salvador that is now thriving with art. Each student created a doodle art, like Fernando, that represents them and their community. As you can see below, they are all colorful and unique!
