Last week, a few 1st graders dropped by Mrs. Vozar's office to share their narrative writing about their field trip to the MSU Butterfly garden in early April. Mrs. Vozar was impressed with their detailed sentences, excellent use of capitalization and punctuation, and their beautiful illustrations. Bravo, Junior Jackets!
First graders continued their parent and offspring science unit by building greenhouses in STEAM lab that were filled with a variety of parent plants and their offspring!
We celebrated our 'Super Stars' today with a special pizza lunch. We had 54 students at South that raised $200+ during our Read-Athon fundraiser in March!
We had a few more Junior Jackets serve as Principals this week. Congratulations to these students for being the highest earners in their grades during our Read-Athon fundraiser in March!
Please join us for our next school/community collaboration at The Thompson Home Public Library on Monday, April 20. We will enjoy STEAM story hour activities starting at 5:30pm.

Forehead Facts has become a class favorite math game. Two players place a card on their forehead without looking at it. A third player acts as the referee and adds the numbers together. The players with the cards on their forehead use their opponent's card and the sum to determine their own number. This game can also be played at home.💙💛

As part of our goal to improve attendance, we implemented our "Awesome Attendance" campaign in March. We are proud to announce that over 120 students missed 1 day or less last month. These students received a certificate to take home, a magnet on their locker, and a fuzzy bee as a way to say 'Thank You for Bee-ing" at school. They will get to celebrate on Friday with some extra minutes of recess, too! We can't wait to celebrate with even more Junior Jackets in May and June!
Our Read-Athon has ended for 2026. Thank you students, families, and our wonderful community for your AMAZING support of our school community and PTO.
