Assistant Principals John Skomp and Kevin Rounds make us proud! They work long hours and do so with patience and persistence. They never quite know what their day may hold. They sometimes have to deliver hard news or say "no." But they also encourage students, promote forgiveness, build solutions and set up and supervise events. Their work keeps our students safe and makes school happen. Thank you John and Kevin and happy National Assistant Principals Week!
It was a busy night at South Putnam with home baseball, softball and track! It was a great opportunity to see a lot of our spring athletes compete!
It is a rough moment as a teacher when you realize you have a flat tire at school, but Mrs. Bye's night got a whole lot better when a student stopped and helped! You are awesome, Brock Heavin!
The South Putnam Middle School Band Program is looking for students currently in 5th grade to Be Part of the Band. Students interested in joining the Band Program need to attend the Instrument Testing Open House on Wednesday, April 12th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the South Putnam Middle School/High School Cafeteria. During the event, students will have a chance to try out instruments, rent an instrument, and sign up for band. Students will be able to enroll in the Band Program on one of the following instruments; Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, or Euphonium/Baritone. In the interest of space, we ask that only the student and one parent/guardian attend the open house if possible. Questions should be directed to the Band Director, Thomas Champion, at tchampion@sputnam.k12.in.us. Visit our website (www.southputmusic.com) for more information.
Congratulations to Mr. Champion and the cast of the Spring Play! They put on two excellent productions this weekend! What a talented and hard working group led by a strong group of seniors!
I had a surprise when I tried to go into my office this morning. I was pranked. I accidentally baited Mr. Clark and Mr. Welti this week when I wrote in an email that they couldn't prank me because April 1st is on the weekend. Apparently they do not feel bound by dates in the calendar :)
Thank you Karen Heavin for organizing community partners to come and allow our seniors to practice their interview skills.
Congratulations to our All A Honor Roll students for the 3rd nine weeks. They earned a Chick-fil-a lunch for all their hard work.
