Chocksett Track Club

Mr. Brandon Smith will be offering an after school track program this April, May and June, practicing 3 days/week at Chocksett Middle School.   Mr. Pistrang, the Princeton track coach, will still be welcoming students to join his team for practices and competitions as they have done in the past.  Mr. Smith and Mr. Pistrang will be working together to coach the Chocksett students.

Our students have a choice to join one or both of the Sterling Track Club and the Princeton Track Team. Students who choose to compete with the Princeton team will be required to fill out the usual medical forms and pay the athletic fee ($70.00) to Thomas Prince School.  There is no cost to be part of the Chocksett Track Club.

This is a great opportunity for our students in Sterling and we are excited to have this new Spring Track program and Mr. Smith here at Chocksett.  Please contact Mrs. Lauder at 978-996-1660 or smitty212@comcast.net  with any questions you may have.

Congratulations to the Chocksett Social Studies/UN Club

On Saturday, March 3rd, Chocksett students competed in the district-wide Middle School Model UN Conference held at Wachusett Regional High School.  Students came together to discuss and debate the global problem of human slavery.  Students were assigned a country and then asked to represent the positions and solutions of that country to the rest of the Conference.  Students then worked together to provide common solutions that would elicit broad appeal.  Chocksett students claimed four awards for their efforts in speaking and leadership.  Danielle J. and Mike O’C. won Distinguished Delegate Awards while Katie C. and Mike K. took home Honorable Mentions.  Congratulations to the entire Chocksett team and their adviser, Mr. DeMarco, on a great performance!


While preparing for the Model UN competition, the Chocksett Social Studies/UN Club sponsored a drive called “Cookies for Troops”.  The goal was to bring our brave men and women soldiers of the 1-182 Infantry in Afghanistan some cheer by sending them donated boxes of Girl Scout Cookies.  Working with the very generous Sterling Girl Scout Troop 30501, we will donating over 320 boxes of cookies!  Thank you to all those associated with Chocksett Middle School and the town of Sterling for helping make this year’s support of our troops a successful one!
