(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!

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.

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.

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...

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...

"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.
