(2.) Don't forget! Tomorrow, Thursday, 12/8, is an Early Release Day. Dismissal is at 11:45am for middle schools. Breakfast will be available but lunch will not be served; order a bag lunch with this link before 7am tomorrow!
(3.) Students are reminded that signed Report Cards were due back to Homeroom Teachers last Monday. If you have not returned it yet, please do so promptly to avoid a disciplinary consequence. An extra copy of your report card can be requested in the Main Office and must be signed by your adult caregiver.
(4.) South's Scholastic Book Fair will be open on Thursday and Friday for in-person purchases. You can also order online using this link: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/southmiddleschool15. Proceeds benefit the South Media Center.
(5.) The Community Service Club's annual Giving Race is heating up with just over a week to go! Ms. Norton's 7th grade homeroom unseated Mr. Dedeus's 6th grade homeroom for the most items donated so far. The homeroom with the most donations will win a prize! (New and unopened packages only, please!) The Braintree Food Pantry is requesting the household items listed below as well as nonperishable food items.
(6.) Yearbooks can be purchased at this link for $30. The price will increase after 12/23, so make sure to get your order in before the December Break!
(7.) Calling all artists! All South students are eligible to enter the annual cover contest. Hand-drawn, original cover designs featuring the South Bulldog themes are requested. Show your school spirit and your artistic talent by submitting a front and back cover design to Ms. Norris (room 212) or Ms. Drayer (room 214) by Friday, 12/16. Drawings should be on standard 8-1/2"x11" printer paper.
(8.) 8th grade parents/guardians can purchase Yearbook ads to make your graduate's yearbook even more special and personally meaningful. Click here to purchase a yearbook ad to share your congratulations, words of encouragement, or praise with your 8th grader or the graduating class.
(9.) South's Student Council is planning a Spirit Week for the final days leading up to the December Break. On Friday, 12/23, all members of the South community are requested to bring a $1 donation (or more!) to raise funds for Marisa's Mission, a local charity that supports families affected by cancer.
(10.) Looking to clean house over the winter break? Donate any unwanted items to the South DC Trip Savers Drive! Household items and clothing can be brought to the South lobby until January 9th to be donated to Savers. Funds raised will benefit the South 8th Grade Washington, D.C. trip in March. (All fundraising pays first for scholarships and then gets applied to all students' tuition to reduce the overall cost of the trip.)
(11.) Local businesses can also sponsor the DC trip t-shirt. See attached letter for more information. Sponsorships are due by 2/4/2023.If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please don’t hesitate to email or call the school at 781-380-0160.
