Extension! June 14: Senior Speech Submissions
Is your child interested in giving a senior speech at graduation? We are looking for two 8th graders to deliver inspirational speeches to their peers at graduation. If your child is interested, they need to turn in a draft of their speech by June 14 to their ELA teacher. A committee of MS 50 staff members will review the speeches and select the two speeches that will to be delivered at graduation. Attached below is an explanation of what needs to be turned in as well as a rubric the committee will use to make their selections.

This Spring, the DOE made a change to their centrally-loaned device policy. All devices (iPads, Chromebooks, etc) distributed to students during the pandemic now belong to the school those students currently attend. This is a change from a previous policy which directed students to keep the devices with them when they changed schools. If your student is not returning to MS 50 in the fall (either because they are moving, switching schools, or graduating) please return your device to Mr. Stripp by Thursday, June 20th with a note indicating your student's name and homeroom.
If you have any questions, please email Mr. Stripp.
