Rock Your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day
On March 21, Pierce celebrated World Down Syndrome Day. Students and staff were invited to wear crazy mismatched socks to represent the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome that causes Down syndrome.
Mindful Mondays are in full swing at MHS!
From coloring and therapy dogs to mindful writing exercises and volleyball (with some bedazzling to jazz the whole thing up) Mindful Mondays at MHS have been a big hit!
MHS student leaders have received positive feedback on their Mindful Mondays and appreciate all the participation from MHS students and staff.

Milton is hosting a clothing drive in support of Cradles to Crayons. The clothing drive is being organized by 8th grader Ben Wollacott, Milton’s Project 351 ambassador. Cradles to Crayons is a nonprofit organization that collects essentials every day for local children who are facing homelessness and/or economic challenges.
Clothing bins will be placed outside the main lobby near the front office. Sizes for newborns to 12 years of age are needed. Gently used shirts, pants, shorts, shoes, etc will be gratefully accepted (please no clothes in poor condition or with tears or rips). Every donation is important and will make an impact in someone's life, and thank you in advance.
It was a great afternoon at Pierce and for the first time in many years, the students came out on top in the game!
