This week our 8th grade Stallions participated in the West Virginia State Treasurer’s "Get a Life" program.
This is a financial literacy simulation for 8th-grade students, teaching them to manage monthly budgets, pay bills, and make career-based financial decisions. Students are assigned a salary and role-play adult responsibilities like buying housing, cars, and groceries. https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/monongalia_county_schools_ar/live_feed_image/image/24390263/large_IMG_1652.jpeg

This is information from our Outreach Facilitator.

Stallions were learning in class and moving in PE today!

The WVU Chambers Elite Climbers program, along with the WV Public Education Collaborative K12 Speakers Bureau, attended South Middle school today to talk with middle schoolers about their futures.

Although the Climbers program is for WVU football student athletes, the speakers covered the importance of working through mindsets and obstacles to reach goals, whether on the athletic field or in future careers.

Friday, January 30 is an Arctic Day, and we will be following an Even Schedule. Students are required to log into their Schoology accounts for each of their periods to connect live with their teachers. When they log into each period, they will find a Meeting Link that they will click, and it will connect them to live instruction with their teachers. If a teacher is absent for any reason, they will leave an assignment for students. Attendance will be taken in each class. If your child misses a class or has any issues, please send a note with your child when he or she returns to school.

Here is the schedule:
Even Day (Periods 2, 4, 6, and 8 will meet)
9:15 - 10:24 Period 2
10:26 - 11:35 Period 4
11:37 - 12:07 Lunch
12:12 - 1:21 Period 6
1:23 - 2:32 Period 8

No school on Wednesday, January 28

Mr. Overstreet's 7th graders created paper towers in Discover Your Future. They learned how to work together to create the tallest tower.

Here are the 7th Grade Students of the Month for December.
Way to go Stallions!

6th and 7th graders received their iReady Reward for meeting our school goal on the second iReady Diagnostic. 6th grade voted to have nachos and cheese if they met the goal and 7th graders voted for icing and cookies. 8th grade will be having their Growth reward next week.

Thank you to all Stallions for trying your best on our Benchmark!

Mrs. Barnes' 6th Grade Career class got to celebrate with plushies today for being the class to bring in the most food during our food drive. Thank you to everyone that donated!

In Mrs. Shumaker's science class, students completed a STEM Challenge where their goal was to build a tower that held a large marshmallow at the top. The tower had to stand for 30 seconds and students were provided a limited amount of supplies to make their towers. The largest tower build was 69 cm tall.

Our choir students went caroling to our business partners today. They visited MVB Bank, Chestnut Ridge Sheetz, March Westin, Great American Cookie, and Liberati. Merry Christmas and thank you for all you do!
