On Friday February 14th, Pierce Middle School was excited to have Dr. "The Machine" Jesse Green come and do grade level assemblies for all of our students titled 'Chainsaws, Cheeseburgers and Rock n Roll.'
His inspiring story was entertaining, engaging and motivated our students to seek out their dreams. From the words of Green, "Opportunities are like cheeseburgers. Some are big, some are small, some are basic, and some have it all. Some even have bacon."

It's Music on our Schools Month!


Last week Mrs Wash's Cunningham 2nd graders presented in the first person as African American heroes. Students selected Civil Rights activists, politicians, athletes, inventors, poets and more to learn about and then craft presentations for their classmates. The class loved this hands on learning project!

Ms. Kelley's freshman MHS Social Studies class recently participated in their own Peace of Paris Conference, which took place after World War 1.
Students represented different countries at the end of the war and tried to negotiate a peace plan. Our students did a great job staying in character while advocating for their country's rights and realized how difficult it is to make sure each country is represented fairly.

Unified Art Trip to MFA!
As we wrap up a fantastic semester of our MHS Unified Arts class, we were excited that students had the opportunity to attend a field trip to the Museum of Fine Arts during the last week of class.
To fund the trip, students held a successful handmade ornament sale over the holidays. At the museum, they explored artworks that have been central to our studies this semester, including Monet's Waterlilies, Ancient Greek storytelling vessels, traditional African masks, and a large scale modern sculpture by glass artist Dale Chihuly.
This visit allowed students to connect the dots between what they learned in class and the real-life masterpieces they encountered, deepening their appreciation and passion for art. Students were particularly excited to share this experience with their peers, stepping beyond the walls of Milton High to engage in a unique artistic journey. They would like to thank everyone who supported them with the ornament sale - you made this rewarding experience possible.
Students from the Unified Arts class look forward to showcasing their artwork from their very successful first semester at the MHS Fine Arts Show in May!
