What a wonderful night at the MHS Music Valentine's Coffee House last week!
Mme. Pons and Mme. Yunger share that our MHS French Immersion seniors in the three French 7 classes recently had the privilege of hearing from a distinguished group of guest speakers, including one alumnus and three bilingual professionals. They shared valuable insights into their career paths and the advantages of bilingualism. Students were honored to host :
-Cam Levreault : MHS alumni currently enrolled in the world famous Ducasse Culinary School in Paris
-Caitlin Leblanc Reichart: Diplomat and specialist in International Relations
-Pascal Lepesqueux: Chair of the ISB Outreach and Continuing Education Department at the International School of Boston
-Clement Fourny: works in Finance, auditing, project management, and commercial strategy.
All four speakers delivered engaging presentations on their academic journeys and professional lives, illustrating how French proficiency and bilingual skills have opened doors to exceptional global opportunities. We were delighted to welcome back Cam, one of our former students, who shared his wonderful experience studying in Paris. As parents within the Milton Public Schools, both Caitlin and Clement provided a special connection to our community. Pascal, as the head of the DELF exam center, was able to answer students about the DELF certification and much more.
Do you use French in your work, or has knowing the language helped your career? The MHS French Department invites you to inspire our junior and senior classes!
We are looking for guest speakers to spend a brief session sharing how language skills translate to professional success. Whether you work in a global industry or have lived abroad, your experience can help our students see the value of sticking with French through their senior year and beyond.

Collicot 5th grade students are wrapping up their Robert Indiana inspired sculptures in Mrs. Bernini's Art Room.
Students were asked to draft a four letter/number design that represented them, using initials, sports numbers, or a positive word. They made a stencil template which was used to create their design on a slab of clay and this slab was then carefully placed upright into a foundation.
This took an enormous amount of focus, determination and even teamwork to get their clay to stand upright. Once fired in the kiln, students then used expressive colors and patterns to add uniqueness to their sculptures. Awesome job, 5th graders!

Congratulations to the MHS Varsity Dance Team! Last week at the UDA Regional Competition at Endicott College, our Wildcats brought their energy, precision, and heart to the floor - and came home with a 2nd Place Win!

Way to go, Wildcats!
The Valentine's Day vibe was strong at MPS last week!
Collicot 4th grade students have begun glazing their pancake coil pots in Ms. Bernini's Art room. They worked really hard on blending yellow and brown to make a perfectly cooked pancake stack. We can't wait for the finished results!
They are having fun celebrating the 100th day of school at Cunningham today!
The recent Cunningham Lunar New Year celebration was a huge success, with more than 300 people in attendance and over 50 performers from across Massachusetts. The day would not have been possible without the dedicated DEIB Committee and many staff and family volunteers! With the dragon scales and cherry blossom wishes as well as student artwork and Cunningham art teacher Mrs. Correia's incredible dragon head/tail and "Fire Horses", Cunningham looked amazing for this wonderful celebration!
2026 is the Year of the Horse (specifically, the rare Year of the Fire Horse). The horse signifies freedom, energy, speed, bravery, and forward momentum, suggesting a time of bold action, new opportunities, and personal growth, but also requiring balance to avoid burnout. Cunningham's DEIB Committee hopes that your 2026 is filled with these traits!

The ECHO is superior!
We’re excited to announce that the 2025 edition of the ECHO, Milton High Schools' art and literary magazine won the rank of “Superior” from the NCTE’s REALM (Recognizing Excellence in Art and Literary Magazines) Award.

Congratulations to the whole ECHO team!

Unified Arts Students Bring Classroom Learning to Life at the Museum of Fine Arts!
To celebrate the end of the semester, our Milton High Unified Arts class took its now-annual trip to the Museum of Fine Arts, an experience students and staff alike have looked forward to all year. This special visit marked the culmination of a semester spent exploring a wide range of artistic traditions and styles, from African masks and intricate quilts to abstract paintings and ceramic vessels.
Thanks to the students’ hard work and creativity during our successful winter ornament sale, we were able to use the earnings to fully fund this trip. Students were thrilled to see many of the works and ideas they studied in class come to life in the galleries. Experiencing these incredible artworks in person made the learning feel real, meaningful, and deeply inspiring.
Highlights from the day included sketching in the galleries and sharing this memorable experience with peers. We are so proud to see the Unified Arts program continue to grow and flourish, and we are already looking forward to our visit to the museum next year.
A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support, celebrate, and believe in our Unified Arts Program. This trip is an amazing opportunity for our class and a powerful reminder of the impact that access to the arts can have on our students!

Congratulations to Collicot 5th grader Chantce Darget who is a featured reader on the MPL's Dial-a-Story service during the month of February!
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, tell jokes, and the like. The content changes monthly, and for a while now the library has been including guest readers , usually kids, who read a picture book in the Dial 6 slot.
Chantce is reading " If You Give a Dog a Donut" by Laura Numeroff, and February stories are posted now (they'll be live all month long). Give the library a call and maybe Chance can offer tonight's bedtime story!

Congratulations Milton Static Robotics Team!
The Milton Static Robotics team electrified the competition at last Saturday's Brookline Robo Rally FIRST Tech Challenge! Demonstrating both technical prowess and strategic grit, the team battled their way to the top of the leaderboard during qualification matches. They maintained that momentum with a flawless, undefeated run through the playoffs to secure a first-place overall finish.
Beyond their on-field performance, the team earned the prestigious Design Award. This honor recognizes their mastery of industrial design, specifically their ability to strike a perfect balance between form, function, and aesthetics while tackling this season’s unique engineering hurdles.
Thanks to this phenomenal performance, Milton Static is headed to the Massachusetts State Championships! The event will take place on March 15th at the Wentworth Institute of Technology. We encourage everyone in the community to come out and cheer on our talented engineers as they go for the state title!

Ukulele fun! Cunningham 5th graders have officially started learning the ukulele in Ms. McLellan's music class! Students are practicing proper technique, learning basic chords, and building confidence as both solo players and ensemble musicians. These photos capture them in action—making music together and having fun along the way.
The month of December was a busy time for the Milton High School Music Department! Not only did our students have their Winter Concert performances, but they also shared their talents and hard work with the Milton community in various community outreach performances.
Members of the Tri-M Music Honor Society kicked off our community outreach initiative by bringing small, student-run ensembles to Unquity House and Winter Valley. These performances provided a meaningful way for our students to connect with local seniors through music.
On December 22, over 70 musicians traveled to all Milton Elementary schools and Pierce Middle School. These student-led groups—including the Brass Choir, Pretty Sharp, Sax Choir, Chamber Strings, Christmas Carolers, Recorder Choir, Kazooligans—treated students and staff to 30-minute sets of singalongs and a variety of popular and holiday selections.
For the week leading up to break, MHS students and faculty enjoyed live performances in the MHS lobby every morning, providing a joyful start to the day.
A huge thank you to our fabulous musicians for their leadership and commitment to bringing music to the community! We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to the Milton families whose support of our fundraising initiatives provided the resources and transportation needed to make this community outreach possible. Your generosity helped with bringing music to all of Milton in December!
