Bulldog Bulletin - looking ahead

 Important dates/events next week:

  • Next week is Spirit Week! Thanks to South's Student Council for squeezing in one more opportunity for high-spirited fun before summer!
  • 7th Graders: On Monday, 6/12, we will hold an informational meeting about the optional 8th Grade Washington DC Trip. The trip will be held on March 20-23, 2024. We want to give students an opportunity to register this June in order to begin an installment payment plan as early as possible, and to begin fundraising for this costly but one-of-a-kind trip. There will be an informational night for adult caregivers in the early fall.
  • Don't forget: our online Scholastic Book Fair is open through 6/12!
  • South's Grade 8 Appreciation Night will be held on 6/14 at 6pm.
    • Graduating 8th graders will have assigned seats on the driveway. Family & friends are invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets and to pick your spots 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! (This event is not for family members; it is for students only, so they can have a "last hurrah" as Bulldog.)
    • Check the PTO Facebook page for information about ways you can 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"
  • Field Day will be held on Friday, 6/16. Make sure to send your child with sunscreen and a refillable water bottle. 
    • Yearbooks will be distributed in the afternoon to anyone who ordered a copy. Final Report Cards will be sent home on Fri 6/16, too. Check backpacks for them! 
    • 8th Graders: There will be an optional informational meeting at 2:00pm on Friday for any 8th grader potentially interested in playing football at Braintree High in the fall.
  • There is no school on Monday, 6/19, in national observance of Juneteenth. 
  • The Last Day of School will be Tuesday, 6/20, with dismissal at 11:45am for middle schools. Grab-and-Go lunches will be available for pre-order for 6/20; link to follow.
Spring Musical tickets have all sold out for all performances. We wish a hearty Break A Leg! to all cast & crew this weekend, and a shoutout to the adult advisors who have had several late nights, especially for Tech Week: Mr. Puglisi, Ms. Ouellette, Ms. Littlewood, Ms. Pyliotis, and Ms. Proulx!

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...
