Final PTO Meeting for the Year - TONIGHT @ 6pm

 South PTO's final meeting for this school year will be this evening at 6pm.


South's Grade 8 Appreciation Night will be held on 6/14 at 6pm to recognize & celebrate their graduation from middle school:
  • Graduating 8th graders will have assigned seats on the driveway. Family & friends are invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets and to pick your seats on the "island" lawn. Speeches, awards, and certificates of completion will be given from the front of the building.
  • After the ceremony (typically around 7pm) graduates are invited to move to the back lawn for the PTO Grade 8 Garden Party. There will be a DJ, pizza banquet, ice cream truck, photo opportunities, and countless good memories being made!
  • Check the PTO Facebook page for information about fundraisers to support the Grade 8 Graduation Party. Donations are always welcome; make checks out to South Middle School PTO and send them to the Main Office (with "Gr8 Party" in the memo line) or Venmo @Nicole-Driscoll-2 or @Lisa-Howland and note "PTO Gr8 Party"

Grade 4 and 5 Parent Move-Up Nights: If you're reading this, you already have a child in middle school, and may not be overly anxious if you have a 4th or 5th grader moving up to South in September. But, you also may have some questions about the plans for our grade 5-8 middle school in the new building, and if so you're invited to come to one of two Parent Informational Nights on June 7th or 8th at 7:30pm in the South Auditorium!

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...
