Last week, second graders participated in our annual boat building STEM activity. Students were challenged to build a boat that would float and transport as many passengers (Pennie’s) as it could! Students were given tinfoil, masking tape and a styrofoam cup to build their creations. Everyone did an amazing job!

The girls’ basketball teams hosted Caravel Middle School last night. The A Team held their own in the first quarter, putting up strong defense that limited Caravel’s scoring opportunities. They continued to battle hard against a tough opponent, but ultimately came up short despite their effort. Scoring for the A Team came from Kylie, Paisley, and Ava.
The B Team faced some defensive challenges early on but found their rhythm as the game went on, staying tight on their person they were guarding. Although they showed remarkable improvement from their first game, the B Team also fell to Caravel. Emma, Mackenzie, and Paisley contributed baskets for the B Team.

Yesterday afternoon the Milford Chess Team hosted Holbrook Middle School in our first meet of the season. Holbrook came out swinging, and put up some stiff competition against our hometown heroes. Unfortunately, the efforts of the Milford Chess Team were not quite enough to close out a victory, with the final score being Milford - 15, Holbrook - 45.
Some highlights from the meet:
Braydon M. had the highest overall score with a total of 6/10 possible points
Alec M. had a rough start to the meet in round 1, but managed to pull back only letting Holbrook take one more game from him
Owen D. managed to deny Holbrook the victory in two of his games, forcing ties and breaking their momentum.
Overall, the Milford Chess Team showed great perseverance in the face of an incredibly tough opponent, and we’re looking forward to taking some lessons from this loss to come back with an even stronger showing at the next one. Keep up the good work, team!
