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 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!

Monica Rogan, one of the founders of Goodnow Farms, visited Pierce recently to share with 6th graders the process of creating their award-winning chocolate. This in-house field trip came at the conclusion of the 'Chocolate Unit', an informational ELA unit centering on the history and ethics involved with chocolate and distribution. Monica shared not only the process and history of her company but also brought allergen-free samples for all students to try!
Thank you to all the sixth grade teachers (Will Cole, Kellie Foster, Genevieve Martland, and Francesca Sirignano) and, most especially, Millicent Hartgering who made this connection to bring this experience to our sixth grade students.

Ms. Harris and Ms. Staker’s Cunningham 3rd graders recently began a new science unit, Motion and Matter.

The class had fun with the first investigation, where they explored how magnets attract and repel each other and other materials.
