Stoughton Public Schools

Here is a look at students hard at work in the Gibbons School art studio!

Kindergarteners in Room 129 at the Hansen School read Scissors and Needle, a story about a clever witch who gets creative with a pair of scissors and a magical needle and thread, using cut-out shapes to create everything she needs for a comfortable life. Inspired by the book, students made a class quilt, the patchwork design made up of individual panels each student created.

It's the start of the winter sports season at the O'Donnell Middle School with tryouts being held. We are offering boys and girls basketball and coed wrestling at the middle school level this winter. Here is a look at the boys and girls basketball teams.

Here is a look at the first day of winter sports tryouts/practices at Stoughton High! The girls basketball team, boys hockey team, and boys and girls indoor track and field teams are pictured here.

As part of the C.A.R.E.S. initiative at the Wilkins School, students learn about how to best exemplify the traits of Community, Acceptance, Responsibility, Empathy, and Self Control throughout the school year. The Wilkins recently focused on the importance of acceptance. Congratulations to the Wilkins students pictured here for exemplifying the positive character trait of acceptance!

Students in the SEL (social emotional learning) after school program at the Dawe School celebrated being in their "affirmation era" by making affirmation bracelets, using beads to spell out a positive affirmation to describe themselves.

The South School Sharks recently recognized the November S.H.A.R.K. Students of the Month. These students (pictured here) have consistently displayed the South School S.H.A.R.K. principles of being safe, hard working, accountable, respectful, and kind. Congratulations!

Now that we are in December and the official start of winter is right around the corner, here is a reminder of our school cancellation and delayed opening plan for when there is inclement weather: https://www.stoughtonschools.org/page/cancellation-delayed-opening-plan

Congratulations to Andrew Causey (1st place), Noah Schwenzfeier (2nd place), and Adam Raja (3rd place), all sophomores at Stoughton High School, for winning the VFW's Voice of Democracy audio essay contest at the local level this school year! High school students across the country enter this contest. This year, students were asked to record a 3-5 minute audio essay answering "What are the greatest attributes of our Democracy?" At SHS, students in the Pre-AP US History class submitted entries. Stoughton American Legion Commander Michael Pazyra, representing the Stoughton VFW on behalf of Commander James Kelly, presented certificates and prizes to the local winners at SHS last week. The three winners from SHS are pictured here with Commander Pazyra, SHS Principal Julie Miller, SHS History Department Director Jaime Regan, and SHS Pre-AP US History teacher Melanie Ingrao.
