Re: E-blast Update
Date: October 1st, 2015

FROM THE DESK OF THE SUPERINTENDENT

This has been a very exciting week a Milton High School. We are engaging, once again, on the largest student exchange of its kind.  On those two days, 500 visitors will descend on Milton High School from Sakae Higashi High School of Saitama, Japan.  The students are the entire junior class of Sakae Higashi High School, located one hour north of Tokyo.

This exchange, in its 10th year, is a unique opportunity for students on both sides to make new friends and learn about each other’s respective culture.   The program includes performances by both sides, including the Milton High School Marching Band and a unique performance by some Sakae Higashi Students of the traditional Japanese dance, Yosokoi Soran.

Milton High School student ‘ambassadors’ are paired up with a Japanese student for the day and bring them to their class, have lunch together and engage in conversation.  “This is such a meaningful and important part of our student’s education” said Akira Honda, lead teacher from Sakae Higashi.  “Many of them have been studying English since 6th grade and this is the pinnacle of their experience, to actually use their language skills with native speakers.   We value the relationship with Milton HS so much and appreciate their hospitality to welcome us’.

Gift giving is an important part of Japanese culture and gifts were exchanged by all students as part of the exchange.  Additionally, James Jette, principal of MHS, exchanged gifts with the Japanese teachers on the trip and has accumulated an impressive collection of Japanese artwork over the years, prominently displayed around the school.  “This is such a tremendous opportunity for our students, and I am proud of how well they have represented MHS during the exchange, as true goodwill ambassadors.  Kudos to Kathleen Kelley, who organized the entire program from our end”

Her concerts have drawn audiences to the Wilbur Theatre, Blue Ocean Music Hall, and Old Town Hall in Manhattan. For 23 years she has served with the Cambridge Police Department, currently holding the rank of Lieutenant. She resides in Milton with her husband Richard and daughter Molly.

Mr. Grimes recently sang in a national tour of the musical JEKYLL AND HYDE. He has appeared in several off-Broadway productions, has sung at the Cape Playhouse, and soon will be performing at the Ordway Theatre in St. Paul, MN. He studied opera at the University of Houston and University of Michigan, and has appeared in productions with Opera in the Ozarks and College Light Opera. As a student composer at Milton High School he wrote “Mass for a Dawning Age” which was premiered by the Quincy Choral Society, orchestra and soloists.

Mr. Steele is an active vocal coach, pianist, and conductor, and is currently in his 21st year on the opera faculty at New England Conservatory. He has conducted for outreach tours with Boston Lyric Opera, and is a former music director for Opera Providence. He has served as assistant conductor/pianist for over 120 productions with 22 companies, including Boston Lyric Opera, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, Wolf Trap Opera, Central City Opera, and Portland Opera Repertory Theatre. He assisted Opera Boston with the Pulitzer Prize winning opera Madame White Snake, and for three years collaborated with WaterFire-Providence on a unique and popular series of opera evenings. In Boston, he has performed with Emmanuel Music, the Handel and Haydn Society, and the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, among others.

Freshman Race: The Milton High School Freshman Girls earned first place at the Manchester Invitational last weekend. This was an impressive performance by the “Fab Five” Freshmen. All five of Milton’s runners finished in the top 37 freshman runners out of 141. Elise O’Leary finished second overall running 12:56. Clodagh Corcoran also ran amazing finishing in sixth place in just under 14 minutes. Ella Affanato, Grace Dwyer and Emme Schewe all gave strong performances to contribute to the win. Girls JV Race:

Sabrina Najarian and Ruby Baker-Poveromo ran very respectable, quality races for themselves finishing 99th and 105th respectively out of a whopping 254 runners.           Girls Varsity Race: Needless to say the competition was intense at this meet. The Varsity Girls finished a very respectable 7th out of 32 teams. Bridget Mitchell placed 4th, ran a very impressive and assertive race finishing under 19minutes. Colette O’Leary ran hard and earned a great time of 19:37, finishing 16th. The fact that she didn’t finish higher tells you just how great the competition was. Alexis Belash had her best race of the season, getting out quick in a very difficult start, finishing in 20:51. Naomi Negassi and Mairead Dambruch ran 21:20 and 21:37 finishing 83rd and 96th out of 228 runners. Two years ago on this course, Mairead was the only Milton runner to break 22:00 minutes.

The Wildcats had everything rolling Friday night when they beat defending league champion Walpole 28-7.  Senior Scott Cummings took a short reception 65 yards down the sideline on the opening drive.  A few plays later, Senior QB Mike Fallon broke the pocket and scampered 23 yards to the end zone.  David Perkins add the 2pt conversion and off we went. Wildcat defense, led by captain’s Devon Nzepuome and Akeem Smith stopped everything Walpole had in first half as we built onto our lead after Mack Feeney recovered a Walpole fumble to provide a short field.   Koby Osazee did most of the work and Feeney converted a 4th & 1.  Osazee’s 2 yard score made it 14-0 at the break.

Walpole kept fighting in the 2nd half and cut the score to 14-7 late in the 3rd period with a 53 drive that featured all runs.  We answered with a 10 play drive that featured big pass plays to Osazee and Kendall Van Allen’s first touchdown from 14 yards out to build the lead to 20-14.  The defense again held Walpole on a 4th & 4 from our 24 yard line and 3 plays later Fallon applied the final score when found a streaking Derek Perkins for a 69 yard TD pass on 3rd & 3.  David Perkin’s caught his 2nd 2pt conversion to account for the final score of 28-7.  Roll Cats!

AMBASSADOR PAGE

Students: One of our Milton High School art student’s artwork was recently selected as the winner of a logo contest sponsored by the Milton Substance Abuse Coalition. Delphine Jrolf’s design was chosen from more than 30 other logos submitted to the contest. She will be the recipient of a $100 award from the Milton Substance Abuse Prevention, which will be presented her award during Celebrate Milton this Sunday. Congratulations to Delphine and her art teacher, Karen Hughes.

Staff:   I would like to take a moment to recognize the following administrators, who are the backbone of the Milton Public Schools. Everyone understands the job of our principals, but without the expertise and talent of these educational leaders, their jobs would be much more difficult. The following staff members are responsible for with curriculum development, supervision and evaluation (along with the principals), and work collaboratively to provide the vision for the district. Please join me in thanking: Alex Campea, Amy Gale, Amy Tom, Anna McReynolds, Barbara Wright, Ben Kelly, Bernadette Moonan, Brian Mackinaw, Christie Chiappetta, Dr. Angela Burke, Dr. Martine Fisher, Dr. Noreen Diamond Burdett, Karen Cahill, Margaret Gibbons, Meredith Kempf, Michelle Kreuzer, Nancy Warn, Stephanie Nephew, Tracy Grandeau, Nick Fitzgerald and Vy Vu. We appreciate your work.

Volunteers: We are very grateful to two local businesses who have volunteered time and supplies to keep our schools beautiful. Coulter Landscaping has been helping to keep the Tucker School property beautiful. The Coulter crew cut the grass and installed mulch around the entire school, which was a lot of work.  At the Pierce Middle School, Malloy Landscaping has been helping out by cutting the grass and mulching the beds.

In addition, A. Thomas gave the Milton Public Schools a discount when they graded and prepped the outdoor classroom earlier in the spring and summer.  Also, Jason Tsanotelis from Eagle Farms assists us with discounted flowers and a reduced price in the cost of mulch.

We still need help to assist with the High School, Glover and the Collicot-Cunningham campus, so if there any other landscapers who could volunteer time and/or supplies, we would be very grateful.

The Milton Public School system is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to the provision of quality educational programs for all students.  The Milton Public School system does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability, genetic information, age or sexual orientation.
