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.

Here is a look at some 7th grade artwork at the O'Donnell Middle School. Students practiced observation drawing by looking very closely at little pumpkins. Then they practiced value scales and added value to the pumpkins (again by looking very closely at them on the tables) using both pencil and charcoal. Lastly, the students learned about color theory to choose color schemes for a watercolor resist background using crayons and watercolor.

Congratulations to O'Donnell Middle School 8th grade students Jhayla Sealy (1st place), Colin Thornton (2nd place), and Jason Ikonitskiy (3rd place) for winning the VFW's Patriot's Pen Essay Contest at the local level this school year! All students on team 8B at the OMS recently participated in this annual contest. The Patriot's Pen contest encourages young minds to examine America’s history, along with their own experiences in modern American society, by drafting a 300-400 word essay expressing their views on a patriotic theme chosen by the VFW Commander-in-Chief. The 2023 essay theme was “How are you inspired by America?” Stoughton American Legion Commander Michael Pazyra, representing the Stoughton VFW on behalf of Commander James Kelly, presented certificates and prizes to the winners at the O’Donnell Middle School Wednesday morning. The three winners from OMS are pictured here with Commander Pazyra, OMS Principal Katrina Crowley, and team 8B social studies teacher Caitlin Valair.
