Wednesday Woof - South Cinco

Unity Day was a hit at South Middle School today! It was so great to see so many folks sporting their orange colors to stand up against bullying! School spirit is high this year, and we love to see it!


(1.) On Friday is O.F.M. This is the major fundraiser for enrichment activities at South, so we're hoping every student will contribute something! You can still sign up on SnapRaise to send messages out to friends and family to raise donations. You can also bring in cash or check donations to your homeroom teacher. Checks should be payable to "South Middle School PTO" and any amount helps!

(2.) O.F.M. is a fun-filled event for students! Remember to dress in your class color to show your Bulldog Pride! 

5th grade - Pink

6th grade - Green

7th grade - Blue

8th grade - Red

There will be carnival games, yard games & gaga ball, a walkathon, and more! It's a great way to end the week and a fun opportunity to hang out with friends as we move into the next part of the school year!

(3.) Calling all student artists! Submit your creative yearbook cover design by November 22nd and make your artwork a permanent memory at South!
(4.) Order your Yearbook today! Go to Jostens.com and search for South Middle School in Massachusetts (this link should bring you right to our page). Early Bird Price is $30 until 12/22/2023.(5.) South's School Store will be open for limited times in the coming weeks! The school store is in room 1040, in the 8th grade wing, and is run by students in Ms. Benton's and Mr. Galluzzo's classrooms. While the sales-students learn the routine over the next few weeks, the school store will be open by invitation only during study halls on various days. (In time, we plan to have expanded hours, and we appreciate your patience!) Students will be able to use small bills or change to make purchases--all items are 25 cents--and in the coming weeks they'll be able to earn Bulldog Bucks through acts of kindness & inclusion, which they can use to make purchases. For now, we encourage you to throw some coins into your backpack in case your study gets invited to the store (5th graders will get their chance, too!).

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...
