South Range Middle School

Happy November!

It's amazing how quickly the school year is going! Students have successfully completed the first nine weeks and have much to celebrate. As we head into November, I am continually grateful for the South Range community. This month, I want to continue celebrating our students, families, and community while also highlighting how we can give back to our students.

This month's newsletter is jam packed with information and celebrations! Please continue to use this newsletter and our school website to stay informed about staff and student celebrations, important dates, and upcoming events. In addition, look for opportunities to support our school through our upcoming food drive or joining our amazing PTO.

Our middle school teachers are excited to extend learning into nature and the outdoors as the weather allows. We’ll also continue to provide opportunities for outdoor recess whenever possible, so please make sure students have appropriate outdoor clothing.

As we move into this season of gratitude, thank you for all you do to support our students and our school. Together, we continue to show The Raider Way: Respect. Responsibility. Resilience.

Warmly,
Mrs. Ware
Principal, South Range Middle School

South Range Middle School students will be bringing home their Jim Tressel Fitness Challenge workbooks this week! This program encourages students to develop healthy habits by incorporating physical activity, fitness, and wellness into their daily lives.

The challenge gives students an opportunity to work toward personal fitness goals, track their progress, and learn the importance of staying active outside of school. Families are encouraged to participate and support their students as they complete the activities at home.

Students should work through the activities outlined in their workbooks and record their progress as directed. The goal is to encourage students to make healthy choices, stay active, and recognize the importance of regular physical activity.

Completed workbooks are due Monday, November 30. Students should return their workbooks to Mr. Crish or Mrs. Liebig.

Thank you for supporting our students as they work to build healthy habits and make physical fitness a part of their everyday lives!

Our 5th grade band students are learning the basics of playing their instruments and discovering the joy of making music together! It’s exciting to watch their confidence grow as they develop new skills and take their first steps on their musical journey.

Our 6th grade students enjoyed an exciting trip to Camp Frederick, where they had the opportunity to learn, explore the outdoors, and build teamwork skills. It was a wonderful experience filled with hands-on activities, new challenges, and opportunities to strengthen friendships!

Congratulations to our Speech & Debate Team!
