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.

Three-fer Thursday from South! 5/22/2025

Three from South: (1.) Tomorrow--Friday, 5/23--South will host our annual Memorial Day Assembly starting at 1:00 PM. 8th graders have been working hard to prepare their Veterans Projects and a group will present them while our entire school honors local veterans and the fallen heroes of our Armed Services.  Students are encouraged to  wear red, white & blue  to show your patriotic spirit for our veterans and honored guests.  There will be  no student dismissals after 1pm , as it is too disruptive to the memorial assembly.  This year's assembly will be held in the large Gym due to the nor'easter, but guests are still welcome! If you would like to attend the assembly, please enter through the Main Entrance to get a visitors sticker and then proceed down to the Gym. Mark your calendars! All 8th grade Veterans Projects will be on display in the Media Center on Friday, 6/6, for the public to view and explore our students' research. If you're looking for an e...

"Build Up" to the beginning of Middle School!

  South Middle School Build-Up Grade 5 August 19 & 27, 2025 We are excited to show our newest 5th graders around South Middle School. The Build Up program is an optional orientation for our newest Bulldogs to get a "sneak peek" of what to expect at South Middle. Teachers will explain what a typical day looks like as a 5th grade student. Students will tour the building so they feel more comfortable, and they will learn about important middle school topics such as:  Class schedule Behavior expectations  Locks and lockers Clubs & activities Homework Guidance counselors Computers & BYOD (“Bring Your Own Device”) Lunch & recess School etiquette Organization This is a great way for our newest students to connect with South staff and their new classmates. It is very exciting to see where they will spend their middle school years. Feel free to have your child write down any questions and we will be sure to get them answered. Go to the Registration Form on ParentSq...
