Stoughton Public Schools

The Dawe School focuses on different positive character traits each month and honors students for displaying those character traits at a "Caught with Character" assembly. Compassion - caring for others with kindness - was the character trait for September. Congratulations to these Dawe Dragons who were recently recognized for showing compassion!

Third graders in Mrs. Johnson's class at the South School recently presented their "digital brown bag autobiographies." Students uploaded photos of five things that were special to them (people, pets, places, hobbies, favorite items, etc.) to share with their classmates so they could learn a little bit more about each other during the first month of school.

Grade 1 students at the Hansen School enjoyed learning about the scientific method with a fun experiment. They made a hypothesis about what would happen when vinegar was added to an apple with some baking soda in it.

The O'Donnell Middle School participated in "Start With Hello Week", a national campaign "dedicated to making new social connections and creating a sense of belonging among youth." The week ended with students signing the "Start With Hello Promise Pledge" to keep the "Start With Hello" spirit going throughout the school year!

During "Start With Hello Week" at the O'Donnell Middle School, the OMS recognized "upstanders" - people who use their voice to reduce social isolation, making others feel seen by reaching out and helping others. Students and staff were encouraged to give an "upstander" gram or certificate to show appreciation to the students in the OMS community who reach out and help others. Here are some of the OMS students recognized for being "upstanders"! ("Start With Hello Week" took place from September 19-23 and is a national campaign that the OMS participated in, "dedicated to making new social connections and creating a sense of belonging among youth.")

School picture day is something to look forward to at the beginning of the school year. Here is a look at some students at the Gibbons School ready for their picture day. These Gibbons Griffins brought their smiles and came dressed for success!

The O'Donnell Middle School participated in "Start With Hello Week" from September 19-23. It is a national campaign "dedicated to making new social connections and creating a sense of belonging among youth." On Wednesday of that week, students could wear green - the official color of "Start With Hello" - to show their support for the campaign.

A trio of 8th grade band students performed during morning arrival to welcome students as they filed into into the O'Donnell Middle School on Tuesday, September 20. This special performance was part of "Start With Hello" week at the O'Donnell Middle School. The OMS is participating in this national campaign, which takes place from September 19-23 this year. The "Start with Hello" movement is "dedicated to making new social connections and creating a sense of belonging among youth." The OMS has activities planned throughout the week to celebrate "kindness, connection, inclusion, empathy, and belonging." 8th grade students Terrence Tran (tenor saxophone), Chloe Hannaford (baritone saxophone), and Neissa Francois (alto saxophone) did a great job performing for their peers!

When current Dawe School 4th grader Adriana Franco was in 3rd grade she chose to send a letter to President Biden as part of a class writing assignment. The President wrote a letter back to Adriana this summer and it recently arrived at the Dawe! Adriana is pictured here with the letter!

To celebrate Constitution Day, which commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787, the Wilkins School created its own Wilkins Constitution. The Wilkins Constitution had three categories - "Be Safe", "Be Respectful", and "Be Responsible". Wilkins classes discussed the rules and expectations they wanted to see included and wrote them out and placed the strips of paper under the appropriate category. Students then signed the Constitution, which will be on display in one of the hallways at the Wilkins during the month of September. Third grade students are pictured here in front of the Wilkins Constitution.

Constitution Day, which commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787, will take place this Saturday. Our schools are celebrating today (Friday). Students in Dr. Scullane's Advanced Placement Government and Politics class created this video where they recite the Preamble to the Constitution (We the People...).
