In February, Collicot celebrated World Read Aloud Day!
World Read Aloud Day highlights the importance of sharing stories and promotes early literacy. Thank you to the many special community members who joined us at Collicot, every classroom was offered a special read aloud and students loved their visits. We appreciate our VIP guests sharing their time with our students!

Students in Mme LeBigot's 2nd grade French Immersion reading groups at Collicot and Cunningham were inspired by the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina and completed their own Olympic challenge: every time they read a book to someone, they received a medal.
BRAVO to our proud Reading Olympians!

The Model UN club sent a combined total of 31 students to both the Harvard and Boston University conferences. These conferences hosted delegations from more than 50 countries, and everyone represented our school exceptionally well.
While all participants did a great job, a few individuals deserve special recognition for earning awards:
Thinh Tran, Emily Vogel, Adam Cheairs, and Sage Kramer received Honorable Mentions at Boston University’s Model UN Conference and Orla Crosse received a Best Delegate award at the Harvard Model UN Conference. Well done, Wildcats!

Our very own Tucker Tiger, Damian Tutella-Chen, is a featured reader on the MPL's Dial-a-Story service during the month of March!
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. Damian is reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin, Jr., and March stories are posted now (they'll be live all month long). Please give a call and hear Damian read!

Mme. Theobald's Collicot 4th graders were lucky to welcome their classmate Aline's family for a wonderful presentation about Ramadan.
During the presentation, they learned a lot about the traditions of Muslims around the world during this month of the year, that Ramadan starts with the new crescent moon and ends a month later with the next crescent moon and about fasting and why Muslims fast during this time of year. They also learned about traditions and decorations in Aline's home and around Milton. Look for the signs that say Happy Ramadan and Eid, and the lights in the shape of crescent moons and stars in East Milton Square!
We are very appreciative to the Al Assad family for sharing their traditions and teaching the class about Ramadan.

Opening night of MHS Theatre's WINTER FESTIVAL is February 27th at 7PM! One night, two different shows, creating an exciting evening of theatre!
- February 27th at 7PM
- Donations to the MHS Theatre program accepted at the door
Act 1 - Student Directed 10 Minute Musical Scenes/Plays (45 Minutes)
10 Minute Student Directed Musical Scenes/Plays - Musical scenes and short plays directed by our amazing student directors
Act 2 - The Sparrow - METG One Act Fest Submission (38 Minutes)
The Sparrow - After returning to Spring Farm ten years after a tragic accident, shy senior Emily Book just wants to disappear into the background. But when one startling moment reveals what she truly is, everything changes. Overnight, Emily becomes the town’s mysterious hero, “The Sparrow.” What begins as admiration quickly twists into suspicion, forcing both Emily and Spring Farm to confront the truth they’ve buried for a decade. A blend of “Carrie”, Ray Bradbury and “Wicked”, The Sparrow taps into the aching heart of adolescence — the fear that we’re somehow different, and the hope that we might be extraordinary.
**The Winter Festival is recommended for ages 12 and up due to mature content.**

What a wonderful night at the MHS Music Valentine's Coffee House last week!
Mme. Pons and Mme. Yunger share that our MHS French Immersion seniors in the three French 7 classes recently had the privilege of hearing from a distinguished group of guest speakers, including one alumnus and three bilingual professionals. They shared valuable insights into their career paths and the advantages of bilingualism. Students were honored to host :
-Cam Levreault : MHS alumni currently enrolled in the world famous Ducasse Culinary School in Paris
-Caitlin Leblanc Reichart: Diplomat and specialist in International Relations
-Pascal Lepesqueux: Chair of the ISB Outreach and Continuing Education Department at the International School of Boston
-Clement Fourny: works in Finance, auditing, project management, and commercial strategy.
All four speakers delivered engaging presentations on their academic journeys and professional lives, illustrating how French proficiency and bilingual skills have opened doors to exceptional global opportunities. We were delighted to welcome back Cam, one of our former students, who shared his wonderful experience studying in Paris. As parents within the Milton Public Schools, both Caitlin and Clement provided a special connection to our community. Pascal, as the head of the DELF exam center, was able to answer students about the DELF certification and much more.
Do you use French in your work, or has knowing the language helped your career? The MHS French Department invites you to inspire our junior and senior classes!
We are looking for guest speakers to spend a brief session sharing how language skills translate to professional success. Whether you work in a global industry or have lived abroad, your experience can help our students see the value of sticking with French through their senior year and beyond.
Interested? Please contact Claire Yunger (cyunger@miltonps.org) or Anne Pons (apons@miltonps.org) to discuss dates and times. Merci for your support of the MHS French Immersion program!

Collicot 5th grade students are wrapping up their Robert Indiana inspired sculptures in Mrs. Bernini's Art Room.
Students were asked to draft a four letter/number design that represented them, using initials, sports numbers, or a positive word. They made a stencil template which was used to create their design on a slab of clay and this slab was then carefully placed upright into a foundation.
This took an enormous amount of focus, determination and even teamwork to get their clay to stand upright. Once fired in the kiln, students then used expressive colors and patterns to add uniqueness to their sculptures. Awesome job, 5th graders!

The Valentine's Day vibe was strong at MPS last week!
