Reminder about this week and next Monday

The South TSA attended the West Virginia state TSA Competition in Ripley, WV.
The team placed in 13 competitions and 2nd overall for the Middle School category.

April 9th will be a Zero Day and Penny Delay Day. Students will go to all classes, the day is not an even or odd day, and we'll be collecting spare change as a fund raiser.

8th grade WV Studies students bring history to life, launching atlatls and experiencing ancient hunting techniques firsthand!

8th Grade Students were given signs with meaningful sayings about the staff who support and inspire them each day. They shared these with teachers as a small token of appreciation, recognizing the impact they make both inside and outside the classroom. Thank you to our incredible staff for all the hard work, dedication, and care you bring to South—we truly appreciate everything you do!

Students in Mr. Swisher's class reviewed letters from a WWII soldier about the Battle of the Bulge and VE day.

Mr. McIntyre's Medical Detectives class dissected sheep's brains today. Dissection helps students learn basic brain anatomy. By carefully cutting and labeling parts like the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem, they can see how different structures are organized and understand their functions.

7th graders celebrated Pi Day with a variety of activities. What is Pi Day? Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) to honor the mathematical constant \(\pi \) (\(3.14159...\)), representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.

In Ms. Beck's class students are exploring the living organisms in various ecosystems, such as, swamp, rainforest and desert.  Students are realizing that there is a balance that needs to be kept in the ecosystems as they assemble a food web for the specific ecosystem they are assigned to study.
