The Milton High School Robotics team competed at the Ryken Robobowl in Shrewsbury on Sunday December 15. Students have spent the last four months planning, building, coding, and testing their robot for the First Tech Challenge (FTC). Milton made it to the finals and finished 5th of 27 teams! Students will have another competition at Canton High School on February 8 and all are welcome to attend and cheer on our team!
Last week, the MHS Achieve, Launch, and Partner Programs teamed up with the Unified Art and Unified Music classes to go on their annual holiday shopping trip! Students went to the South Shore Plaza to practice budgeting and money skills and worked in groups with their buddies to buy holiday gifts for their family and friends.
And what trip to the Plaza is complete with out a trip to the food court? Our MHS crew ended their trip with a table for 40!
Spirit Week at Pierce kicked off with Color Wars on Monday!
Who wore it best? Grade 6 - Red, Grade 7 - Blue , Grade 8 - Black!

MHS French teachers and students celebrated the week of the Francophonie early in November. Teachers created projects with their students. Each French class was part of a project related to the French-speaking world and their projects are exhibited in the MHS library.
Our students did a great job and you can read the details of the projects here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LF67dm_A2LVTY1WNTL4BUcRdTLSpPogJ/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111909143798207549360&rtpof=true&sd=true

A message from the Milton School Committee
Over the past several years, the Milton School Committee has explored how we can make our district calendar inclusive and more representative of our diverse community. We revised our calendar policy in 2022 to ensure that students celebrating holidays not acknowledged with an official day off would receive necessary accommodations. We are in the process of reviewing our calendar and need your input. We are gathering community input through a survey, a series of open conversations taking place in schools and the November 20 School Committee meeting. We hope all will share their thoughts in one of those ways.
The survey can be found here: https://forms.gle/RmLtV4T6xaFx3k658

Pierce Volleyball - Staff vs. Students
The Volleyball Team recently took on the Pierce Staff in their annual game. After a hard fought game, the staff pulled it off with a win!
Once Upon a Mattress is almost here! ! A hilarious take on “The Princess and the Pea,” Once Upon A Mattress sets an unapologetic free spirit loose in a repressed kingdom, reveling in Winnifred's ability to charm and transform with willpower, honesty, and a little bit of help from her friends.
Don't miss out on seeing our talented MHS Theatre students during four (sure to be sell out) shows on Thursday, November 21st 7pm; Saturday, November 23rd at 2pm and 7pm and Sunday, November 24th at 2pm.
