Next week is a Spirit Week at OMS. The Student Council has put together an interesting theme for each day leading up to the December break. Each day of Spirit Week is listed on our school web site and can be found in the collection of photos below.
Friday, December 23rd is an early release day. OMS students will be dismissed at 11:32am for the December vacation. The OMS Office will be open over the break on 12/27 - 12/30 from 8am to 3pm should you need us. We wish all of our families a safe and happy holiday season and new year!
We have introduced "Ticket Tuesdays" at OMS. Students receiving a recognition card for exhibiting readiness, respect, and/or responsibility can exchange their card for a prize.
Our last couple of Knight-time advisory lessons have focused on empathy, and the Counseling Corner bulleting board reflects some of these lessons.
Thank you to the Student Council and Peer Leaders for teaming up to run a big raffle to help out some of our families in need. It has been a wonderful opportunity for our entire school community to come together in a spirit of giving...and the prizes are going to be pretty amazing for the lucky winners as well.
For your information: All "Session 1" Stoughton Public Schools Afterschool Programs' last day will be Tuesday December 20, 2022. "Session 2" Afterschool Programs will be starting as of January 9, 2023.
The lost and found bin is full. Students have one more week to claim their items. We will be donating any unclaimed items over the December vacation.
Take a look at some of the December photos from around the school below.

Project 351
Each year 8th grade students are nominated for consideration as the Ambassador for Project 351. There is no application process for Project 351. Teachers silently nominate 8th grade students who exhibit the qualities of kindness, compassion, humility, generosity of spirit, and an ethic of service to others.
The Ambassador will participate in “launch day” during the Dr. Martin Luther King., Jr. weekend, along with the other 8th grade students from around Massachusetts for a day of service. The Ambassador will also bring a service project to their own community, inspired by launch day.
The 2022 Project 351 Ambassador is Nya’Lia Lindsey.
This other nominees from OMS were:
Arializ Michel-Gaines
Chloe Hannaford
Jaileen Guerrero
Janelle Nashawaty
All nominees have been recognized here at OMS and will be recognized at a meeting of the Stoughton School Committee.
Take a look at the photos of our nominees and Ambassador, as well as a Project 351 Ambassador video below.
Last Call for the Lost and Found!

We are encouraging our students to check the lost and found before the December break. At that time, we will be donating the unclaimed items to charity.
