5th grade teacher Mrs. Smith brought her grandchildren to the book fair today. Parents and grandparents be sure to stop by this week to buy a new book or 2 for your child. You can also set up an ewallet online for your child so you don't have to send cash with them to school.

All Parents Welcome!
Friday was the 1st Attendance Pop Party for the 25-26 School Year and the 5th Graders were the Winners.
Anchored in Excellence is the Southside Theme this school year and Mrs. Matheson, Communities in School site coordinator, let students know that all students needed to anchor themselves here at Southside everyday. They need to POP in everyday to school.
Congratulations 5th grade. Keep watching each month as any grader level has the chance to win.
What a fantastic way to wrap up a great week of school! Our amazing administration surprised the teachers with some fun "dirty" sodas as we CRUSHED another week of teaching and learning. The students got in on the fun as well. The "Woot-Woot" wagon made its rounds dropping off treats for the students too. It’s great to see everyone enjoying the end of the week together.
🌟 Parents, we need YOU! 🌟

Mrs Matt's 4th grade science classes had a fantastic time with a science challenge called "Saving Fred"! This hands-on activity requires students to use their problem-solving and collaboration skills to help a gummy worm (Fred) get into his life preserver and onto his boat. It's a fun and engaging way to practice scientific inquiry and teamwork.
