Students in our April Vacation STEM Camp learned about constellations and then designed their own!

The students pictured here arrived at the Gibbons School in style, riding to school in a Stoughton Fire Department engine! Thanks Jim Curtin and the Stoughton Fire Department!

During the last period of the school day on Monday, third graders at the Wilkins School went out to the front lawn and viewed the start of the solar eclipse. Students used the viewing boxes they made and also wore eclipse glasses to observe this special sight.

Here are some pictures of Stoughton High students in the astronomy class with Dr. Hays documenting the solar eclipse this afternoon.

There was lots of excitement about the solar eclipse in our schools on Monday! Here are some pictures of second graders in Mrs. DeMayo’s class at the South School creating their own model of an eclipse with flashlights and ping pong balls and then observing the sun through the special eclipse glasses.

The Gibbons School focuses on a positive character trait each month and the students pictured here were recently recognized for showing perseverance over the course of the previous month! Congratulations!

The O’Donnell Middle School’s Project 351 ambassador and nominees were honored at the most recent School Committee meeting. Each year 8th grade students are nominated for consideration to be the OMS ambassador for Project 351. Project 351 is a statewide youth-led service program that convenes a new class of 8th grade ambassadors, representing the 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts, who “embrace the responsibility to lead with a determination to make a difference.” Tana Bernard was chosen as the O'Donnell Middle School's Project 351 Ambassador for this school year! The other nominees from OMS were Brennan Cox, Valentina de Carvalho, Eden Gonsalves, Jackson Gosule, and Victor Pereira. Tana addressed the School Committee and shared her experiences representing Stoughton and participating in Project 351's "launch day" in Boston over MLK weekend. Tana and the other OMS Project 351 nominees also received certificates from School Committee Chair Katherine Weiss and OMS Principal Katrina Crowley. The students are pictured here with members of the School Committee, Dr. Baeta, and Mrs. Crowley.

Gymnast Fred Richard, Stoughton High Class of 2022 (and a former O'Donnell Middle School and Dawe Elementary School student), was on Good Morning America on ABC! Fred, who will be competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, won a bronze medal in the men's all-around event at the World Gymnastics Championships back in October and also helped the US men’s gymnastics team win a bronze medal in the team competition. GMA Anchor Robin Roberts interviewed Fred, discussing his preparations for the Olympics, his career in gymnastics, and inspiring more Black youth to go into gymnastics. Fred even performed a trick at the end of the segment! Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ_Uc2vWo_U

Dawe School 3rd grader Connor Isabelle used the 100th day of school as a way to make a difference in the community. He challenged his fellow students at the Dawe School to gather as many non-perishable food items to be donated to the food pantries in Stoughton! The goal was for each grade, kindergarten through grade 5, to contribute at least 100 items. The Dawe community responded and Connor far surpassed his goal, collecting well over 1,000 items for the food pantries! The idea for the 100th day of school food drive came from Connor's older sister, Savannah, who organized this challenge when she was at the Dawe. Now that she is in middle school, Connor has taken over for the past two years. Connor is pictured here with his mom, Erin, Dawe School Principal Rob Cancellieri, and Dawe Senior Custodian Chris Pezza, who all helped Connor deliver the donations Wednesday afternoon.

Dawe School 5th graders in Mrs. Radeff's class worked on a special project for Black History Month, making collages that highlighted different influential Black Americans throughout the country's history. The collage included a short bio and a quote from the person. Take a look at some examples here...

The Buffalo Bills may not have made it to the real Super Bowl this year, but they won the Typing Fantasy Football Super Bowl at the Wilkins School! Third, fourth, and fifth grade students in Mrs. Falcione's technology class were grouped into football teams and competed against each other in typing activities. Scores were tallied for the 10 week event, with the top four teams advancing to the playoffs.
