Hello Millis Small School Big Family,
Today will be a day that's hard to beat! Millis had the distinct honor of hosting the Five Town Special Olympics today and our entire community came out to support these amazing athletes. The energy was electric and the joy was abundant! Kudos to our Special Education, Facilities, and administrative teams for making this day so special and impactful.
Thank you to Mrs. Molly Saccardo and her wonderful Poetry Club students for their trip to the Senior Center where a few students shared selected poems and haiku activity.
Just before the April break we had our monthly All School Assembly. We talked about the importance of safety and kindness. We've been noticing an uptick in bumping and pushing and comments about other people's bodies- short, tall, big and small. We talked extensively that we all get to impact what sort of community we have here at MMS and that kindness and safety are top priorities for us.
We wanted to recognize a few of our students for their willingness to help out and for their courage to present inspiring women for Women's History Month. Students selected impactful women and presented some highlights during our assembly. It's never easy to present in front of hundreds of people and we were so proud of the great job by: Nate E., Gabby T., Pete A., Lorenzo S., Logan B., Jacob M., Lauren B., Colin A. and Johnny A.
Also, our eighth grade teachers are making arrangements for their completion festivities. Next week's field trip behavior contracts have gone home today- please keep an eye out for those and return with your signature. We are allowing cell phones for our eighth graders, with specific expectations so please connect with your child about those and affirm appropriate use! Our hope is that all students are safe and fully present for all of the experiences this day brings!
Please save the date of Thursday, June 13th for class day, the completion ceremony and dance!
