Principal's Corner
October 28th - November 1st
What blast this last week was! We had our choirs do an amazing job this past Thursday in their Fall Concert; a rockin' Spirit Week kickoff for Red Ribbon Week; an amazing Dodgeball tournament; a great end to our Fall athletic seasons; and a ton of learning going on in classrooms.
Our Winter sports begin this week as well - be on the lookout for sign-ups and try-outs that begin this Tuesday, October 28th.
This week is one of our "Spirit Week" celebrations. Monday is "Lazy Day" - roll out of bed and come in your comfiest clothes (no blankets). Tuesday is "Decades Day" - dress up with the fashion of your favorite decade. Wednesday is "Celebrity Day" - dress up like your favorite celebrity. And Thursday is "Costume Day." We'll finish off our week with our annual Halloween Assembly which will take place the last 10-15 minutes on Thursday. There will be prizes for the best costumes!
I do want to point out that this Tuesday we will have our First Annual "Haunted School." The Trojan PRIDE Club is hosting and will sure to be a great event. It will be on Tuesday, October 29th from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. here at South Middle School. The cost if $5/student and $3/adult. Come on out and have some fun!
And please remember that we have no school this Friday, November 1st! We will still be working as it is a professional development day, so do not hesitate to contact the front office.
Conferences are coming up the week of November 4th. We will be calling to schedule conferences for students that have an "F" mark in any class. Please also feel free to call the school and schedule a time to meet with your student's teachers as well. As with last year, we'll be doing a raffle for gift cards for those in attendance - you won't want to miss it!
Have an great week and a safe Halloween!
-Mr. Sale
