🌞 SUMMER VACATION ROLL CALL 🌞

Usually, Ms Houle spends her days in The Eye of the Commonwealth. Earlier this summer, she and her family traveled to Puerto Rico to visit the Heart of the Island! They spent time in Orocovis, visiting with staff who were spending their summers home with family, practicing their Spanish, and appreciating the culture (y la comida!) of the island. It was so special to see the community so many of our students and staff call home 🇵🇷

📷📷 YOUR TURN!
Show us your vacations and stay-cation adventures! Staff who share a photo get a surprise this Friday, and photos with students earn points so they start their year off right!

Something new is blooming at Southbridge Middle School! 🌷

Our newest staff members officially join us on Monday, but we couldn’t wait to introduce them to all of you. As we begin a new year of growing, learning, and blooming together, we’re so excited to welcome these new faces to our team!

Our students crushed it yesterday 🎵🎼🎙

We are so proud of them and so very appreciative of the community who turned up for the showcase.

This summer's program would not have been possible without the generous support from the United Way of South Central MA. It's incredible what a community can do when they *band* together! (See what I did there?!)

If you are, or know of, a business or organization who wants to sponsor programming at SMS, reach out! We have so many ideas to push this work forward through field trips, hands-on experiences, and supplemental programming. Let's partner up!
