Earlier in November, Pierce Drama students enjoyed a field trip and participated in a great day of theater at Boston's Huntington Theatre.

The trip started with pre-show theater activities, exploring themes from the show, including grief, loss, memory, and use of humor in processing difficult experiences. Students then attended a live performance of SARDINES followed by a talk-back Q&A session with the actor and playwright. In the afternoon, participating students ate lunch at the Christian Science reflecting pool and shared in a post-show wrap-up discussion back at Pierce.

It's not Thanksgiving until Mrs. McDavitt and Ms. Craven lead their favorite little turkeys around Glover!

Gobble, Gobble, Glover!

Hunger Is Not a Game: While reading "The Hunger Games," students in Ms. Power's 8th-grade Project-Based English class were inspired to take action against real-world hunger. Connecting fiction to reality, they organized a food drive called "Hunger Is Not a Game" to support local food pantries. Through their efforts, students collected over 75 items and learned that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

On November 1st, the Pierce Debate Team participated in the Lumos November Debate Tournament.

Students debated whether or not the United Kingdom should rejoin the European Union. Students used the Public Forum debate format to discuss the positive and negative impacts of EU membership. Students Ryan Alee, Alexander Chan, Liam Coriolan, Nora Hadidi, Henry Hasha, Matthew Howard, Patrick Hron, James Huang, Annie Jenkins, Albie Klein, Eliot Levinson, George Mai, Freddy Mai, Josh Pincus, Naveesh Raghunath, Benjamin Rosenbaum, Benjamin Wollacott, Andrew Zheng, Kingsley Zhong, and Lucas Zou competed in this tournament.

James Huang, Joshua Pincus, and Benjamin Rosenbaum received awards for delivering speeches in a clear, eloquent, and convincing manner. The Pierce Debate Team looks forward to competing again in December!

Several weeks ago the MHS library transformed into a hub of artistic expression for Poetry Club's Fall Open Mic night. The three-hour event was an incredible showcase of student talent, drawing over 160 attendees!

Hosted by Mr. Cunningham's Poetry Club and led by club leaders August Alvarova, Ollie Jones, and El Craghead-Goldman, the evening featured students sharing powerful original poetry and compelling slam poetry.

Pierce’s Model UN Team traveled to Northeastern University last weekend for its first conference of the year. Congratulations to August Tran and Hailey Zhong who were awarded “Best Speakers” and will be attending the invitational conference in December!

The Commonwealth’s Project 351 celebrates the ethic of service, youth leadership, and the unifying and uplifting power of community.

We are excited to share that Pierce eighth grade student Benjamin Wollacott has been selected as Milton’s Project 351 ambassador! Through his yearlong ambassador journey, Ben will represent Milton in a variety of leadership roles and community service projects.

Congratulations, Ben!

Congratulations to Collicot's Keating Kwiatek from Ms. McDonough's class, who is a featured reader on the MPL's Dial-a-Story service during the month of November!

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 and tell jokes. 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.

Keating is reading Sleepy, the Goodnight Buddy by Drew Daywalt, and November stories are posted now (they'll be live all month long). Please give a call and hear Keating read!

Milton Food Drive - Tomorrow!

The MHS Marching Band wins a Silver Medal!

Please join us in offering a huge congratulations to the Wildcat Marching Band for an outstanding finish to their competition season! On Sunday, October 26th, the WMB delivered a spectacular performance of their show, "Dream," at the MICCA State Marching Band Finals and earned a Silver Medal Rating. This incredible accomplishment is a testament to the hard work and dedication of each and every student.

The marching band was led by the student leadership team: Drum Majors Layla Raymond, Gwen Johnston, and LC Caldwell; Assistant Drum Major Chloe Bergeron; Percussion Captain Nicholas Miller; and Colorguard Captain Lia Duran. While the competition season has concluded, you can still catch the Wildcat Marching Band performing at all remaining home varsity football games and during the upcoming Veterans Day Parade and Ceremonies. We extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported the band throughout their successful season!

You know it, you love it, you've played it. Or for sure your kids have - Steal the Chicken for the PE win!

Ms. Gauthier's Cunningham students love this cooperative learning and team building activity, and we love it for the problem solving skills, running, agility, sportsmanship and fun it brings to PE class.

Last week , Pierce eighth grade students traveled to the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Dorchester to partake in a simulated US Senate session and a live floor debate about voting rights in the United States.

Upon arrival students entered the "Senate Chamber", a full-scale replica of the chamber in Washington DC. After introductions and an overview of the day's proceedings, students were separated into teams, met in smaller workspaces, and learned about some of the important issues our government is addressing today around voting rights, such as gerrymandering, voting by mail, required identification to vote, voting age, etc. Students then headed back to the Senate Chamber for a floor debate about the issue and eventually voted on whether to approve the voting bill before them. Many of our students stood during the debate to share ideas and opinions about voting in America.

Each eighth grade team had one day dedicated to their visit, with Pierce students visiting the Center on three different days, and we are grateful to the Kennedy Institute for this opportunity for our students.

Hmmm, they swear it wasn't them but our Cunningham French teachers sure do looked pretty bejeweled!

Credit to Mme. Mushin for the creative Halloween costume idea!

Happy Halloween from Pierce! Wishing everyone a safe and candy filled night!
