Wake-Me-Up Woof - Tuesday 5/3

Teacher Appreciation Week continued today with "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" with coffee, decaf, munchkins, and muffins for the staff, donated by Dunkin Donuts and the Andrade family! What better way to say thank you than caffeine and carbohydrates?!
South's Teachers are Rock Stars! Themes for Teacher Appreciation Week:
Monday - Snoop Dogg "[ahem] and Juice" - It's like this and like that... the staff enjoyed sipping on juice and sampling pastries & fresh fruit!
Tuesday - Wham! "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" to class... Caffeine & carbs!
Wednesday - Tina Turner "Simply The Best" - A Grammy-worthy lunch from the Chateau will be delivered to staff!
Thursday - Def Leppard "Pour Some Sugar On Me" - Teacher candy bar... the stuff dentist appointments are made of!
Friday - Vanilla Ice "Ice Ice Baby" - Smiles By The Miles & Sally will return to treat staff to an icy goodie from the Ice Cream Truck!
It's playoff week in Boston! All students are encouraged to show your support by wearing your Celtics and Bruins gear this Friday, May 6th. Our Community Service Club will be collecting $1-$5 donations to rally support for the Bs & Cs and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. All proceeds will be donated to the VFW in honor of Memorial Day later this month.
Mark Your Calendars! Wednesday, May 25th, 6:30-7:30pm, join us for a presentation by Rebecca Fidler at East Middle School, as she presents information for parents/guardians & all adult caregivers about vaping products, health risks, peer influence, decision-making, withdrawal symptoms, and strategies for open communication with your kids about vaping. This presentation is not intended for a youth audience, but caregivers will earn a homework pass for your middle school students simply by attending!
Don't forget to order from the Chateau tomorrow/Wednesday to support South PTO (Sorry I gave the wrong date last week)! We hope to see you at tonight's PTO meeting, starting at 7:00pm in the South Media Center. 

How it Works:

  1. On WEDNESDAY MAY 4TH 2022, visit the Braintree Chateau location for lunch, dinner, or take-out.  Let your server or phone representative know that you are participating in the fundraiser and to “FLAG YOUR CHECK”
  2. For online orders: Add item “Fundraiser” to your cart and enter the name of your organization as a special Instruction.  Again, double check that the item “Fundraiser has been added to your order.
South PTO will receive 20% of the total sales (before tax) from all the checks that were flagged for our fundraiser.

Wednesday Woof from South

  We are immensely proud of our 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. Christine Norris, who was honored last night at the Norfolk County Teachers' Association annual awards ceremony. Mrs. Norris was nominated by her colleagues for the NCTA Honor Award, saying:  Christine’s contributions to South are immeasurable. She is the type of person who, if she’s going to do something, she’s going to take the time to do it right. This year alone, she’s co-running the Grade 8 Washington, D.C. trip, co-creating the Yearbook, co-creating the Field Day Murder Mystery activity, co-running the South dance, and co-running the South Student Council, which this year was combined with the Community Service club because, you guessed it, she runs that, too! When you ask her about running all of these things, she humbly downplays her involvement. Don’t let her fool you--she’s one of the hardest-working teachers at South.  To be honest, even that extensive list of projects is incomplete; Mrs. Norris is...

Opening the new South building

After years of planning, design, and construction, South Middle School will open its doors on September 6, 2023 to 5th grade through 8th grade in our new building!  This week, teachers got permission to start coming in to set up classrooms, and they have been dodging construction and subcontractor crews for the past few days, preparing their rooms and adding their personal touch to make the brand new spaces ready for the students.  The energy throughout the building is downright gleeful as folks see the light-filled classrooms, spacious hallways, and state-of-art facilities that will be supporting our students’ learning and growth going forward. Of course, the faculty is always excited to welcome a new class of scholars every fall, but this year takes that sense of rebirth and limitless possibility to a whole new level!  As eager as we are to welcome students and families to the new building, it is not yet safe to open our doors to the public. The construction team is put...
