Dr. Jane Goodall's Message: 
Make a difference in our world

When Dr. Jane Goodall came to speak at UMass Dartmouth on April 7th, our entire school was there. We prepared for weeks and when the time came, OSS presented powerfully. Above, two of our 6th graders, Keeilah and Amelia, tell Dr. Goodall about their eco-art.

We participated in the eco-parade, carrying artistic statements of support for the environment, we set up an entire gallery of eco-oriented art which included work from all OSS students, and we had a table where we showcased some of our most impressive science fair projects. Nariah (OSS '19, below) explored how food impacts growth of tiny sea life known as daphnia.  

 
 







Taking Dr. Goodall's message to heart, students have established a chapter of Roots & Shoots to continue actively supporting our green goals. Our good work continues, so stay tuned.

Our mission, as an independent, tuition-free, nonsectarian middle school, is to educate and inspire economically disadvantaged girls from the New Bedford area. Our Sisters' School empowers girls to step into the future with valuable life skills and a mindset of achievement and excellence by providing a safe, supportive, and academically challenging environment.
