Extra! Extra! Read all about it! The students in the school newspaper after school program at the Dawe School recently published the first issue of "The Dragon Times"!
The program meets Tuesdays and students are already working on their next issue. The first issue recaps school events, profiles staff, features student artwork, has math problems for readers to solve, and even has a recipe section.
Students in grades 3-5 take part in the program. They are pictured here with advisors Mrs. DeLello and Mr. D'Alessandro.

Stoughton Public Schools second grade students recently learned about medication safety thanks to a program run by the Stoughton OASIS Coalition, in collaboration with the Stoughton Public Schools and Stoughton Police Department. Each elementary school had a presentation that provided second graders with four important tips for being safe around medications: only take medication from a trusted adult; never share your medicine; keep medicine in its original container; and always store medicine in a safe place.
During these presentations, students heard from their school nurse, along with experts in the field like Stephanie Patton, the Prevention Coordinator for the Town of Stoughton/OASIS Coalition; Dan Greenfield, a local retired pharmacist; Danielle Gallan, Director of Health Services for the Stoughton Public Schools; School Resource Officer Lindsay Bonda from the Stoughton Police Department; and Animal Control Officer Michelle Carlos and her comfort dog Quill.
Kindergarten students in Ms. Flewelling's class at the Wilkins School enjoyed their visit with Eddie, the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office therapy dog. Thanks Officer Michael Monaghan, Eddie's handler and partner, for bringing him to the Wilkins!
