MPS students celebrated the 238th anniversary of the creation of the US Constitution in their history classes on September 17, when schools across the nation celebrate Constitution Day.
A wide variety of lessons challenged students to critically think about the tenets of our founding document, including analysis of the Bill of Rights, the concept of separation of powers and the connections between our constitution and the ideals of the Enlightenment and human rights.
In Ms. Dann's seventh grade class students studied the Preamble as they began to create their own Student Bill of Rights, and in MHS US History classes students considered if the Constitution has stood the "test of time" in our current society. In Ms. Kelley's MHS classes students tested their knowledge of the constitution.

Join us in celebrating these talented MPS students who have received academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Program for their strong performance in school and on assessments.
Nationwide, awardees are among the highest achieving students in their communities and we are thrilled to recognize this impressive group of students!
The Pierce PTO is kicking off the school year by inviting you to "Pitch in for Pierce!"
The PTO has a fundraising goal each year of $30,000. Funds raised support all students and teachers across the school, from supplemental classroom materials to extra-curricular activities to buses for field trips for each grade. Already this year the Pierce PTO has funded team t-shirts for all of our 6th grade students and provided a teacher/staff lunch during the first week of school.
We are asking everyone to pitch in whatever amount they are able to help support our students and teachers this year! Please click HERE to make your contribution today.
Students were asked to deeply observe various art room supplies. Upon choosing an item, students allowed their hand to draw everything their eyes saw. They had to look slowly and draw slowly. Students were hyper focused to capture all the details and the results are magnificent!

Big news on the reading front - Tucker student Nova is a featured reader on the MPL's Dial-a-Story service during the month of September!
Nova is reading The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson, and September stories are posted all month long. Be sure to dial in and and hear Nova read!
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.
Week two routines are in full swing at MPS and we are ready for a great year!
It was a great 1st day of school at MPS!
Send your back to school snaps to pictures@miltonps.org so we can share them with the MPS community!
