Happy Dot Day from Mrs. Grout's Cunningham Kindergarteners!
The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe.
"The Dot" is by Peter Reynolds, who is a local author in Dedham, and our students love his stories.
Our kindergarteners made their mark today and shared something they were feeling courageous and confident about!

Words to live by, spotted around our schools this week!
Milton Summer Enrichment is off to a great start!
In Spanish Enrichment class, students explored the history of Papel Picado and made their own colorful banners to celebrate what they learned.
Papel picado is a traditional Mexican decorative folk art made by intricately cutting elaborate designs into colorful sheets of tissue paper. Used to adorn streets, altars, and celebrations, it features common themes like birds, floral patterns, and skeletons

In June, our seventh graders had the remarkable privilege of hearing directly from Holocaust survivor Janet Singer Applefield. As part of their Voices of WWII unit — which immerses students in historical accounts, narrative fiction, and primary sources from this era — Janet shared her extraordinary life story, from her childhood in Poland before the war, through years of hiding and survival, all the way to her life today as a mother, grandmother, and published author. Her recent memoir, Becoming Janet, captures this journey, and her website www.janetapplefield.com is a wonderful resource for families who want to learn more. At 91 years old — and yes, active on Instagram! — Janet is living proof that a single voice can span generations.
Our students were completely captivated, listening with care and asking thoughtful, heartfelt questions. Janet left them with a powerful charge: "I want to ask you if you'll tell my story to those who have never heard me speak — be my legacy." She reminded us that even the smallest act of kindness creates a ripple effect, that silence only helps those who wish to do harm, and that hatred can begin with words. It was a morning none of us will soon forget. A heartfelt thank you to our seventh grade English teachers for the thoughtful preparation that made this visit so meaningful, and to the Milton Cultural Council for their generous support in making this experience possible — and, of course, to Janet, for the gift of her story.

If you are organizing your closets or buying new sneakers this summer, please consider donating your gently used sneakers to the Pierce PE department. Just put them aside and a drop off box will be at Pierce from August 24 on. Thanks for considering!

Senior English in the wild!
Mr. Young's senior English class, Exploring Nature, enjoyed a hike in May with Thomas Palmer, local author of "Landscape with Reptile" , a history of the timber rattlesnake of the Blue Hills.
After reading Mr. Palmer's book and researching topics related to the natural history of Milton, the class hiked with Mr. Palmer to the top of Hancock Hill, where he gave them a tour of the landscape, with topics that included reading the forest floor, the geology of the Blue Hills, and the history of the timber rattlesnake.

We have exciting news to share - Tucker student, Juliette Baeyaert-Kelsey in Mme. Frossard's class, is a featured reader on the MPL's Dial-a-Story service during the month of June!
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 they've been including guest readers - usually kids, who read a picture book in the Dial 6 slot.
Juliette is reading Sami à Paris by Isabelle Albertin (in French!), and June stories are posted now (they'll be live all month long). Please give a call and hear Juliette read!
