Many of you are aware that an East Middle School student was seriously injured in a car collision on Friday evening while riding his bicycle to a baseball field in town. At South, our hearts go out to the young man and his family, and we pray for his quick and thorough recovery. (I am aware that his name is out there in public, but the family has asked for privacy while they are dealing with their situation, so I will not include personal details in my message.) Tomorrow, Monday 6/15, Student Council's Spirit Week will start with a Braintree Blue Day as we rally positive wishes and hopes for this young man. Please wear BLUE attire and/or baseball gear to show support for your peer as he continues to receive medical care.

I am including this information now, because it is important for each individual to do everything they can to keep themselves and others safe. South administr...
