Fire Truck Pull!
Dear Families,
I want to thank all of you who came and supported our Spaghetti Dinner and Cupcake War. We made a little more than $1200.
Our next big event and final fundraiser before Boston is the Fire Truck Pull, on April 12, at 11:00 a.m., registration starts at 10:30. The event works like this. Collect a group of 10 people and pull a fire truck 25 feet. To enter the pull, each team needs to raise at least $100 or $10 per person. Student can solicit pledges from friends and families to pull the fire truck. In the past, we have had families gather friends or co-workers to form teams. The more teams we have, the more money we raise. Students can collect pledge sheets and team registration forms (attached) from their teachers or Mr. Smith.
We also have tables for rent at the day of event for $30. If you know anyone who sells jewelry, clothes, or other items, please let them know about this event. To rent a table please contact Joe Smith at jsmith3@mtsd-vt.org or 893-3215 ext. 1200.
Ninety percent of the pledges that the students collect will go into their Boston accounts. Students can also earn money for their account by volunteering at the event. If your student does decide to volunteer, I hope that the rest of the family will join the student and participate in the event. The more money we are able to collect, the more money that can be shared between those who volunteer.
At the event, we will have Minute-to-Win-It games prior and during the pull, food, face painting, and music. We will also be doing the pie in teacher's faces. This a great event for the whole family.
Please promote this event on Facebook and to all those who might be interested.

Winter Portfolio Conferences March 17 and 18
Dear Families,
It's hard to believe that spring is right around the corner, even if the weather cannot confirm what the calendar says. Along with the arrival of spring comes our second round of Student Portfolio Conferences, where your child will present to you work from each class that he or she has thoughtfully selected to demonstrate learning and growth. Any caring adult is welcome - parents, adult siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors. Conferences will take place in the Middle/Elementary School Library on March 17 and 18, between 4:00 and 7:00 PM.
These conferences are important to your child, and represent many hours of hard work. The portfolio process helps students build life-long skills including: organization skills, self-evaluative skills, and communication skills. Most importantly, the portfolio process helps your child take more ownership of his or her learning and be more accountable for his or her academic progress. Thank you for the important role you play in this process!
Please visit http://bit.ly/housecconferences5 to indicate your preferred conference time. If no adult is able to attend at one of the times offered, we will gladly make arrangements for you to conference with your child at another time.
We look forward to seeing you!

MMS Science Fair is Coming!
Dear Milton Middle School Families,
We are excited to be holding a Science Fair at Milton Middle School on the evening of February 12, 2014. This event will be on the same evening as a Milton Community Dinner so you can enjoy a great meal before experiencing the impressive work our students will be showcasing. All students in grades 6-8 will be expected to participate in the science fair. Hands-on scientific investigation and invention are the focus at our particular fair. Over a nine week period, your child will design, test, analyze, and present a project that uses scientific methods to solve a problem. The sky’s the limit!
As you know, science, technology and engineering include basic skills expected by employers. As Twenty First Century citizens, our students will also have to make some of the toughest decisions of any generation, based on their understanding of emerging science and technology. Doing science is key to understanding science. Science fairs involve students in the practices of science and engineering, requiring them to apply those skills to a topic of interest to them.
Time will be given to students during the school day to work on their project. We encourage students to continue
this work at home as well. Students will be given project guidelines and time-lines at school, and teachers will check in with them periodically. However, much of the work will be self-directed. Families are encouraged to offer support and reminders, but to allow children to do the projects by themselves.
We are encouraging support from the community in helping to make this experience a beneficial one for our students and for Milton Middle School. Please call or email with any questions or potential resources. More information will follow as the night of the Science Fair approaches. Thank you very much in advance for your support!
Sincerely,
Milton Middle School Science Teachers
