Speaking of Election Day, you can contribute in a variety of ways to the South PTO Polling Station Bake Sale:
  1. Donate a home-baked food item for sale - please package items for individual sale & make a note of any allergens or ideally list all ingredients!
  2. Donate a store-bought food item, drink choice (or money for PTO to purchase items for resale).

Donated items can be dropped off in the South main entrance on Monday 11/6 or directly to the Bake Sale table on Election Day, 11/7. 

Upcoming events from South PTO:
  • Throughout the week of 12/10-12/16, you'll be able to show a flyer when making any purchases at Five Below and they'll send the PTO a portion of the sale. This is a perfect opportunity to purchase your stocking stuffers, Yankee Swaps, and last-minute gifts! Flyer to follow.

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!
