South School

 Dear Parents and Guardians,

While the weather outside is blustery and cold, the climate inside South School is warm and toasty as we begin the third quarter. At a recent assembly, South School honor roll students in the fourth and fifth grade were recognized. I am proud to say that forty-four percent of our students made the honor roll. Miss Robinson has challenged the students to increase the percentage of students making the honor roll to fifty percent. The students have accepted the challenge! 

South School's third grade students have been taking skating lessons at the MCRC in Rockport, our fourth graders recently completed three weeks of skiing lessons at the Camden Snow Bowl and the fifth graders completed tennis lessons this week. They have had a great time!

South School’s Parent Literacy Night was a success. Those in attendance participated in three mini workshops: A-Z Books, Tumblebooks and a literacy presentation by the Maine Parent Federation. If you were unable to attend, please refer to the Title I Reading article below for a description of some exciting resources available to parents. Please take a minute to browse the Parent Resources Center in South School’s front hall for more information about these resources. Another Parent Literacy Night will be held on March 16^th from 6:00-7:30.

We hope that you will join us for the Winter Concert on February 11^th at 1:15. Under the direction of Mr. Kennedy and Mrs. Nelson, you are guaranteed an unforgettable experience filled with musical talent. It will be the perfect way to spend a cold winter afternoon. 

February vacation is right around the corner! I hope that you enjoy some winter fun with your child during this school break. Stay warm!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Moore, Principal
