Thursday Woof

This week has been National Police Week. South students held a moment of silence on 5/13 in preparation for Peace Officers Memorial Day on Sunday, 5/15, to recognize the daily dangers faced by our law enforcement officers and to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our peace at home. At South, we are proud to partner with the Braintree Police Department, who make immeasurable sacrifices in the line of duty to protect our town, its residents and visitors, and bravely step to the line every day. In particular, the Braintree Police are devoted to our kids' sense of safety, and we can't thank them enough for everything they do to ensure that Braintree is a great place to grow up!

Live theater is back at South this year! Come see South Middle School The Musical: The Musical Revue 2022! Featuring new favorites as well as Broadway classics, this show follows a group of students auditioning to be part of their school musical. Who will get the lead? Who will learn to get along? Who will find confidence? How will the show turn out? You'll have to see to the play to find out! Tickets are available online and cost $10. Use the QR code or the link (https://southms.seatyourself.biz). Contact Ms. Proulx (kelly.proulx@braintreeschools.org) with any questions.  
On Monday, 5/23, the District is kicking off ArtFest! Check out the amazing artwork of our hard-working & creative students in the BHS Lobby throughout the week, starting with a reception from 6:00-7:30pm on Monday.

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...
