Over 500 students attended this great night at Gillette Stadium!! I can't wait to show you all of the pictures students have shared with me! I was hoping to have them organized for today's newsletter but there were so many that unfortunately I'll have to wait until next week!

Please log onto Naviance and complete the Senior Survey class of 2022. It appears under the "About me" tab under "Surveys from your school." Every senior MUST complete this survey in order to be cleared by their School Counselor for graduation.

Thank you!

From your School Counselors

The MHS Internship Program is in full swing and our students are beginning their placements this week.

We have seven students at BID-Milton scheduled for rotations throughout the hospital. They will be familiarizing themselves with Radiology, Emergency, Human Resources, Rehab/EHS, Medical Records, Dietary, Pharmacy and Surgical Services. Tuesday evening they participated in a three hour orientation where they were advised of expectations and received their lab coats and badges.

Starting this week two of our interns will be working remotely with the Milton Times attending brainstorming meetings, researching and editing procedures and the entire operational overview of running a journalistic paper.

One intern is working at the Eustis Estate, assisting in the operation of a historic house museum, including planning and running public programs, installing a special exhibition in the galleries, and working on updates to their interactive tour technology.

We also have two interns working within the town’s Consolidated Facilities department where they will rotate buildings and see what it takes to keep our many buildings operational and in good condition.

Thank you to the many supporters of this exciting program including the Milton Chamber of Commerce, Milton School Committee, MPS administration and staff and the community at large. We will be showcasing our student interns’ success at the end of May with a thank you celebration.
