South MS Friday Blast

We hope everyone had a safe, relaxing, Memorial Day holiday last weekend. This week, the music department had a beautiful day at Dorney Park, the 5th grade students from Sellersville, Guth, and West Rockhill elementary schools visited South, students and staff enjoyed The Color Run, and 8th graders continued their end-of-middle school celebrations with today's 8th grade picnic and Lunch on the Green.

4 more days!

June 4 - Laptop collection day (charger and stylus if applicable)

June 4 - 6/7 grade field day (raindate 6/5)

June 5 - SCN mtg. in the South MS library

June 6 - Last day of school for students (full day)

June 6 - End of 4th marking period

June 16 - Father's Day

Student laptops will be collected during the school day on Tuesday, June 4th. Please help us by checking with your child if he/she knows where their laptop charger is located as it will also need to be handed in at the same time as their laptop. For 6th & 7th grade, this also includes the stylus that came with their laptop. If either one or both are missing, the replacement cost is $36 for the charger and $39 for the stylus. Thanks for your help in this matter!
