The 8th grade class this year will be visited by the family of fallen soldier Staff Sergeant Matthew Pucino. The Pucino family has visited with the 8th grade the past few years as part of our work from our DC trip on teaching students the importance of showing respect to fallen soldiers and their families. We will be having a short ceremony/visit with the Pucino family from 9:30 until 10:30 this Thursday. The first portion will be in the theater and the second portion will be out at the front of the school where we have planted a memorial tree in honor of Staff Sergeant Pucino.
Parents are welcome to attend. I would like to thank the Wayland Middle School PTO for helping support and fund this day as they graciously provided the funds for the gifts that will be presented to the Pucino family on behalf of the class of 2020.
The program is as follows:
Theater:
1. Opening Words (Amira and Tamira English)
2. Arlington Cemetery Slideshow (Michayla Mathis and Josephina Davis)
3. 8th Graders reading of poetry about our experience at Arlington (Introduced by Abi MacDonald and Erica Schofield)
