Bulldog Bulletin - 2/7/2024

Thank you to everyone who contributed to last week's fundraiser for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital! Ms. Mac blew her previous record out of the water with the Student Council's support, raising over $3,200. It was great to see everyone enjoying a comfy, cozy PJ day for a great cause.


The February meeting of the South PTO will be held this Thursday, 2/8, at 7pm in the South Media Center. Join us!

Mark your calendar: PTO's next Dine Out fundraiser is March 11th at Chili's. That's the early release day, so plan a fun outing & take the night off from cooking!

South's 10th Annual Trivia Night will be held on Wednesday, March 27th, 6:00-8:30pm. Trivia Night is a fun-filled educational evening for all grades at South, packed with prizes, gratuitous displays of knowledge, and pure entertainment! Pizza, snacks, and drinks will be on sale as well. Students can form teams of 3-4 South students plus one adult "coach" (a parent, teacher, community leader, "cool aunt," friendly sibling [18+]... the sky's the limit!). Teams are encouraged to choose a theme & dress in costume accordingly. Registration forms should be submitted to your homeroom teacher by 3/22 with a registration fee of $5 per student. See Mr. T (8th grade Math teacher who does, occasionally, pity the fool) with any questions. All proceeds will benefit the Grade 8 Washington D.C. trip.

Have you heard about "the new IEP" in Massachusetts? Braintree SEPAC wants you to know all about it! On Tuesday, 2/13, 6:30pm at Thayer Public Library, Dr. Petra Platt, BPS Director of Student Services, will shed some light on the changes coming our way.

Last weekend, several South musicians auditioned for SEMSBA. We are so proud of all who had the courage to try out for this Southeast MA regional music festival. Congratulations to the 8 performers accepted to the festival this year: Heather D., Deniz T., Jonah B., Hailey H., Kieran M., Rishik R., Ella L., and Henry S.!

Bulldog Bulletin - 6/3/2025

Congratulations to all the students that participated in the Trills and Thrills music festival this past Friday - your hard work and effort paid off! Your playing and love for music impressed one of the adjudicators so much that he wrote an email to our superintendent letting him know how much he appreciated South Middle School’s music program!  7th & 8th grade orchestra won gold and the 7th & 8th grade Band and Concert Choir both earned silver.  This Thursday, 6/5, is the last day for Late Bus this school year. Students can still stay after for extra help, but you’ll need to arrange for a ride home or plan to walk! Homework Lab also ends this Thursday, so if you plan to stay after, you’ll need to make plans with one of your teachers. Don't forget! Bus registration ends next Friday, 6/13.  See the Districtwide post for bus registration information. Please check the Yearbook Sales list posted at your homeroom entrance.  If anyone thinks they purchased a y...
