South Cinco - five for Monday, 12/16

Five quick announcements from South Middle School:

(1.) YEARBOOK
Last chance to order this year's Yearbook for $30! All orders are due on Jostens.com by Friday 12/20 for the lowest price. Yearbooks can still be ordered after Friday, but the price will increase nearly 17%.
(2.) GIVING RACE
South Student Council is collecting donations for the Braintree Food Pantry through this Wednesday, 12/18. Donations can be brought to homeroom or the Main Office. The grade that brings in the most items wins a prize. Please make sure donations are new & unopened!
(3.) MIDTERM 2 - Friday, 12/13
Term 2 midterm was last Friday. Teachers are updating grades and will post midterm status by Friday. Please log into Aspen to check your child's grades with them. If anything is missing or seems to have the wrong grade, your child should ask the teacher about it or plan to stay after. Please note: your child should be the first person to talk to their teacher at the middle school level. An adult caregiver can always follow up, but your children ​should be taking responsibility for making sure their grades are where they expect them to be. Contact your child's ​Guidance Counselor with any larger concerns.

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...
