Welcome Back Woof

It was great to see everyone's smiling faces back at South today after a refreshing February Break!

ONLY A FEW DAYS REMAIN TO ORDER YOUR YEARBOOK! There may not be any extra copies available for purchase in June, so if you're at all interested in ordering the Yearbook, this is your last chance to order! Go to Jostens.com and purchase your copy for $35. All yearbooks will be delivered to South in June.


This Thursday, South PTO is holding a "Dine Out" Fundraiser at the Chateau in Braintree. You know the drill: dine at the restaurant or order takeout by phone and tell your server to "flag your bill" for South; order online and add the item "Fundraiser" to your tab to flag it for South. Thank you for your support and bon appetit! 


Earlier this winter, several 8th grade students decided to put their learning about the American Revolution in Social Studies classes to good use and entered an essay contest with the Daughters of the American Revolution. They answered the prompt: The Second Continental Congress met from May 10, 1775 - March 1, 1781, and included delegates from all 13 colonies. This Congress was instrumental in shaping what was to become the United States of America. Imagine that you are a delegate during 1775-1776. Which colony are you from and what will be important for you to accomplish for your colony? Congratulations to Maggie K, Janice Y, Hailey C, Crystal L, and Veronica C, who will all be honored by the Deborah Sampson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for their exceptional essays! And, further congratulations to Maggie, who was selected as our local chapter's winner of the essay contest and whose writing was submitted to be read at the state level along with each chapter's winner!

There are still a few spots left open for the South Ski Trip rescheduled to March 11th. If your skier/snowboarder is interested, please contact Mr. Boynton for more information.

On the topic of winter activities, the Superintendent has announced a 2-hour delayed opening of school tomorrow.
  • We will follow a shortened schedule (similar to an early release day) so students will see all of their regular Day 6 teachers and classes. Be sure to complete all your homework tonight for all your classes!
  • Buses will be expected to pick up 2 hours later than your regular pick up time, however it is recommended to arrive at your bus stop 5 minutes earlier than usual so you won't miss it, and be prepared to wait a bit longer as road conditions may just as likely delay buses. (Be sure to thank your drivers for driving in all kinds of weather!)
Tell your friends to make sure their ParentSquare is set to alert them, as this is the primary way the Braintree School District issues updates!
