South Elementary News

We had a couple of special guest principals at South on Thursday! Alexa and Maryn, our "Principal for a Day" contest winners, stepped into leadership roles and did a fantastic job running the school. They patrolled the hallways, visited classrooms to lend a hand, and even contributed to our end-of-year video. Mrs. Dormady and I might need to watch our backs, these two showed some serious leadership skills and just might be coming for our jobs one day!

The Buy One Get One Book Fair is scheduled for May 29th so please save the date! We will have some of the best deals on books of the year and this is a great way to stock up for summer reading!

We have a celebration planned to honor all our amazing volunteers. Unfortunately the invitation we sent out had an issue with the QR Code. If you received and invitation and had an issue with the QR Code you can either send the RSVP back with your child or email me directly at dthompson@plymouth.k12.ma.us

A big thank you to Lesly Choinski for helping us restore some of our planters and for working with all of our first-grade classes to plant carrots! The students had a wonderful time digging in the dirt and learning about gardening. We can’t wait to see what sprouts in the coming weeks!

I'm at it again!! This time I'm Running to Home Base! On July 26, I'll be running/walking a 5K in support of military veterans and their families that have been affected by physical and invisible wounds of service to our country. If you have the means and a willing heart, I would greatly appreciate a donation to this cause:
