That's a wrap on the Pierce Debate Team's successful year!
On June 7th, the Pierce Middle School Debate Team participated in the Lumos June Invitational Debate Tournament. Students debated whether or not the National Security Agency (NSA) should end its surveillance of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. Students used the Public Forum Debate format to discuss the positive and negative consequences of NSA surveillance. Students Jimmy Huang, Eliot Levinson, Freddy Mai, and Benjamin Rosenbaum competed in this tournament. This marks our sixth and final debate tournament for the 2024-2025 season.
The Pierce Debate Team looks forward to competing again next fall. Thank you to Mr. Faherty for all of his work with the Debate Team this year!
Viva la - American - Revolution!
Mlle McGrath's Collicot 3rd graders performed the American Revolution in French, complete with costumes and a set that they decorated themselves. They marched in on the red carpet to Revolutionary War music and performed for their families and other French immersion classes. They did a fabulous job!
The 8th Grade has landed in DC and they are off and running! Enjoy this sneak peek as their adventure begins!
The Massachusetts Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program’s Yard Sign Design Contest is a way for students to use their creativity to help promote safe roads for cyclists and pedestrians in their communities.
Congratulations to Pierce 6th grader Scarlett Doyle for being one of four students in Massachusetts whose submission was chosen as a contest winner from 700+ entries!
Be sure to check out June's featured reader on the MPL's Dial-a-Story
- Cunningham's own Charlie Cipolla! Charlie treated his classmates in Ms. McClain's class to a live reading last week.
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 includes guest readers - usually kids - who read a picture book in the Dial 6 slot.
Charlie is reading Mother Bruce by Ryan T. Higgins, and June stories are posted now (they'll be live all month long). Please give a call and hear Charlie read his story!
It was an exciting week in science at Pierce last week! Grade 6 students dissected frogs and Grade 7 students walked to Turner's Pond as part of their Ecosystems unit. They went ponding, collecting and observing samples of aquatic life.
