An exciting author visit, holiday swag sales, toy drives... This update has it all!

Welcome, Erin Entrada Kelly!


The Tucker PTO is thrilled to announce that award-winning author Erin Entrada Kelly will visit our school on December 11!


She’ll present to P-2nd grades and 3rd-5th grades during her multi-day tour of Milton’s elementary schools, made possible by a district-wide PTO collaboration.  


To prepare, we’ve stocked her books in the library for classrooms to explore, and families can order her books online via Wellesley Books for a signed copy. Just make sure you get those orders in by December 2nd!


Check out this flyer and visit her website to learn more about this extraordinary author!

Milton Public Schools is teaming up with My Brother’s Keeper and the Milton Residents Fund to support local families in need.   


For this year's toy drive, we're collecting toys, arts & crafts, books, and gift cards. We've partnered with local shops like The Toy Chest (East Milton) or The Toy Box (Hanover) for great gift ideas too. 


Just bring by unwrapped gifts to Tucker December 2-6. And check out this flyer for more details.

A huge THANK YOU to all the families who supported last week’s Thanksgiving Food Drive and Pie-A-Thon! 🥧🍂  


We’re so grateful for your generous donations and the extra hands on Thursday and Friday to assemble and deliver everything to the Milton Food Pantry.


But wait, there's MORE! We'd like to call out Haley Byron & Dorothy Greene for their assistance with Original Works. And let's not forget the fabulous Marieke Goldman for her work with coordinating & running the French Book Fair!

We hope you'll join the Milton community for Boberfest on January 25th, a heartfelt celebration honoring the life of Andrew Bober—a beloved dad, husband, community member, Milton soccer coach and Glover parent who touched so many lives. This special event will feature a night of music, laughter, and charity as we come together to remember his incredible spirit. Let’s celebrate his legacy and show support for his family during this difficult time. Learn more about the event and purchase tickets here.
If you can’t make the event but would love to support the family, please consider contributing via Venmo: @theboberfest-25. Your kindness and generosity mean so much.
