May 3 - May 7
Families,
Happy May, and what better way to kick it off than saying "thank you" to our amazing teachers. This week, we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. Drop a line to your teachers, get them a gift, or just say "thank you!" for everything they do day in and day out.
It's May, which means it's time for....TROJAN FOLLIES!!! This annual event at South MS is in it's 54th season; we didn't even miss last year's production during school closure! Auditions are coming up, so click HERE for more details. We can't wait to see all of South's amazing talents!!!
8th Grade families, GPHS counselors will be stopping by this week in ELA classes to help students request classes for next year. You can check this website for help with your forecasting!
This Thursday, May 6th, we will be hosting a Parent Night to learn more about the school schedule for the 2021-2022 school year. There are some significant changes, including an increased variety of elective opportunities for students. If you are unable to attend this meeting, it will be recorded and shared! We want you to be able to see this with your student so that you can help them forecast and request classes for next year appropriately. We will do that in the coming weeks!
Make it a great week!
Mr. Sale

Family Character Dare - A ROUND OF APPLAUSE
At dinner one night this week, everyone share one thing they really appreciate about the family or a family member and then everyone clap after each one.
If clapping feels too weird, figure out a simple way to acknowledge each thing shared like a toast or snaps.
