Dozens of students received various awards and honors for their performance in the classroom and in extra curricular activities as part of the O’Donnell Middle School’s annual 8th Grade Class Day.
The afternoon ceremony was held June 26 at the Stoughton High auditorium, a building many of the OMS grads will call home in September.
All three 8th grade teams presented certificates and awards. Students also received honors for their performance on the French and Spanish National Exams, as well as for their efforts in band.
