This week students in Mr. Errett's science class constructed marble roller coasters to review and apply understanding of physics concepts. Who will win the best design?
Good luck to our South Putnam Lip Sync Battle team who will be competing tonight. Proceeds will help fund local CASA and Teen Court programming, as well as to "jump start new, positive, outcome-based youth programming." You can support them with a monetary donation toward their fundraising goal. You can either Venmo, write a check, or give cash to the Putnam County Youth Development Commission directly. Their Venmo is @PC-YDC and be sure to specify "South Putnam Lip Sync" in the comments.
Bring home the trophies, ladies!
Thank you Student Council for organizing Fun Fridays. Today during Homeroom students played the "snake" game. Groups of 10 students made a line and then tried to grab the flag of another group without having their own flag taken. Meanwhile, they couldn't let go of the shoulders of the person in front of them. Guess who beat the high school groups and the faculty group? Yep, the 8th graders.
We love our teachers! They are the best! We had some it's-almost-Valentine's-Day treats today to celebrate them.
We would like to welcome Kevin Rounds to South Putnam as our new Middle School Assistant Principal/ Assistant AD.
