(1.) Tomorrow is the Middle School Basketball Jamboree at Braintree High. South Boys will play East at 3:30pm and South Girls will play East at 4:45pm. Admission is $3 for students and $5 for adults, payable at the door. Concessions will also be available.  All students are encouraged to wear Red & White on Wednesday to show their school spirit as we cheer our basketball teams to victory in the Jamboree! (2.)  Term 2 / Semester 1 grades close on Thursday, 1/25.  Semester 2 schedules begin on Friday, 1/26.   Teachers will wrap up grading & score any makeup work over the next week, so please make sure everything looks right on Aspen. Students should make a plan with their teachers if there are any missing assignments, make-ups, or retakes available. Report cards will be sent home at the end of next week.

January is always a busy time in the life of a middle school. It's a long month and everyone's spending more time indoors, so teachers find they can really get into a lot of material in these weeks. It's important to stay healthy and try to stay caught up on all classwork so nobody falls behind! To that end, we're hearing a lot of sniffles and coughs in classrooms and teachers are desperate for supplies for healthy classrooms.  (1.)  Please consider sending your child in with a box of tissues for the classroom. ( Older grades are running  very  low on tissues right now, possibly because teens simply will  not  be seen carrying the boxes in??)  You can order online and have them shipped straight to us at 220 Peach St, Braintree, MA 02184 from your wholesale club of choice  or use our  Amazon wishlist  to make it easy!  If you can, add a note for which student or teacher/s they should go to. Any without a name will go to the Nurses, who need tissues, too!  (2.) This Wedne
