The Woof - December 7th

WINTER CONCERTS

Tonight we wrap up our Winter Concerts with the 6th grade Choral Concert at 7:00 PM. If you haven’t already seen it, check out last week’s Instrumental Concert on the BCAM YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/WOPbL-7bfkc. It was an amazing night! Choral concerts are also being recorded for broadcast, so family members who cannot attend in person--or aren’t comfortable doing so with the lack of social distancing in our Auditorium--can still enjoy the performances and support our students. Thank you!

The Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball seasons kick off tomorrow with a game at East. Everyone is invited to rally the teams by decking out in Red & White to show your Bulldog Pride!

Concerned about Domestic Violence or Dating Violence?
Anyone who has concerns about domestic violence or dating violence is welcome to reach out to South’s guidance department for support. Massachusetts also has a Domestic Violence Hotline at 877-785-2020 called SafeLink. SafeLink is Massachusetts’ statewide 24/7 toll-free domestic violence hotline and a resource for anyone affected by domestic or dating violence. It is OK to call SafeLink if you just need to talk about your situation (or someone else’s); you do not need to be looking for services or a shelter space.
The SafeLink toll-free number is (877) 785-2020.  Advocates are bilingual in English and Spanish and have access to a service that can provide translation in more than 130 languages. People who are Deaf and hard of hearing can reach SafeLink through the Mass Relay service by dialing 711 in Massachusetts.
