South notes - Tues 3/29

Last week, several of Ms. Barrett's 8th grade Math classes built "sculptures" out of specific objects and then students calculated the volume of their sculpture. They brought in "found objects" to compose their sculptures: spheres, cylinders, rectangular prisms, cubes, and cone-shaped items--which were the hardest to find! The creativity in these creations made for some tricky calculations!



This Friday at 5:00pm, join us at the Braintree High School track for the first annual Incredible Inclusion Walk! Show your support for Including Everyone and spend some quality time with your friends and friends-to-be!  BHS Student Council created "Be Inclusive" t-shirts for purchase, and all proceeds will benefit the BHS special education programs. Contact Mr. Patrick Hubbard for more information.

Shout out to the 6th Grade Girls' Braintree Youth Basketball team, who also went 17-0 on their season. Way to go!  If you're involved with a local group, team, or activity, please feel free to share our kids' achievements. We love to hear about everyone's events outside of school!

The Book Fair is off to a great start, selling over $1,300 worth of books in just the first day of sales! ELA classes who did not visit the Fair today will visit over the next 2 days, and students can also stop by the Fair during lunch block or with a teacher's permission during class. Students, families, and adult caregivers are also invited to come back on Thursday, 3/31, between 3-6pm to browse and purchase books. If online shopping is your thing, go to https://bestbookfairs.chrislands.com/ between now and Sunday, 4/3 to support the South Media Center.

Bulldog Bulletin - 6/3/2025

Congratulations to all the students that participated in the Trills and Thrills music festival this past Friday - your hard work and effort paid off! Your playing and love for music impressed one of the adjudicators so much that he wrote an email to our superintendent letting him know how much he appreciated South Middle School’s music program!  7th & 8th grade orchestra won gold and the 7th & 8th grade Band and Concert Choir both earned silver.  This Thursday, 6/5, is the last day for Late Bus this school year. Students can still stay after for extra help, but you’ll need to arrange for a ride home or plan to walk! Homework Lab also ends this Thursday, so if you plan to stay after, you’ll need to make plans with one of your teachers. Don't forget! Bus registration ends next Friday, 6/13.  See the Districtwide post for bus registration information. Please check the Yearbook Sales list posted at your homeroom entrance.  If anyone thinks they purchased a y...
