From the Library
Summer is almost here! All current 6th and 7th grade students who will be returning to STMS in the fall are eligible to check out up to 10 books for the summer from the STMS Library. Students were given permission slips in their ELA classes (click on the link for a digital copy if needed!). Permission slips will be accepted through the end of the school year. If you are unable to complete a permission slip, an email that includes the child's name to Ms. Bloom at erin_bloom@sdst.org from a parent/guardian will also be accepted. Students can check out their books as soon as their slips are returned and until the last day of school. Springfield Township Middle School is excited to host our first One School, One Book program in conjunction with this year's Summer Reading program. As one of their Summer Reading books, students will read the National Book Award finalist, When Stars Are Scattered by our 2022 visiting author, Victoria Jamieson. Please see the attached letter from Mr. Fuller and Ms. Bloom for more information.
From the Free Library of Springfield Township
The Free Library of Springfield Township is gearing up for summer with some exciting activities and promotions. If you are a Springfield Township middle school student (or will be entering the middle school in the Fall), don't miss out on a raffle for a free copy of When Stars Are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson and Omar Mohamed (our One School, One Book summer reading requirement). To be entered to win, register for the Summer Reading program by June 27th. See this flyer for more information.
Chromebooks
Students - including 8th graders - will hold onto their Chromebooks over the summer to facilitate their summer assignments and bring them back to school on the first day of the 2022-2023 school year. Chromebooks will be replaced for every student at the beginning of next year.
