Tomorrow is Primary Day and precinct voting will be taking place in our large gym. PE classes will be held in the small gym for the day and voters will be directed to the Gym Entrance so the school day will be able to proceed as normal.

GR.8 WASHINGTON, D.C. TRIP: PRE-DEPARTURE MEETING

Thursday, 3/7, at 6:30pm there will be a pre-departure meeting for anyone going on the Washington, DC trip. We will meet in the cafeteria to go over last-minute planning, find out group assignments, etc. The famed cherry blossoms are predicted to be in peak bloom the weekend we're in DC, an added bonus to late-March travel!

Monday, 3/11, is an Early Release Day. Dismissal will be at 11:45am for middle schools & there will be no afterschool activities. Breakfast will be served as usual, but lunch will not be served in school. Students wanting the free school lunch can pre-order a Grab-&-Go Lunch; please watch for a link to be sent out later this week.

PTO DINE OUT - 3/11 @ CHILI'S 
PTO's March Dine Out fundraiser will be held on Monday at Chili's in Braintree. Let them know you're supporting South and a portion of your bill will be sent to the PTO. Take advantage of the early dismissal to treat yourself to a nice lunch, or take the family out to dinner... or both!
