Happy Friday, Sharks!
What an awesome week here at Sutherland. We have a
lot of excitement in the air today as it is our first ICA day of the year.
Students will head outside shortly (or stay indoors) for whichever activity
they selected. Throughout the week, students have been working on the 8th
grade cardboard arcade, attending the SMS Book Fair, working on class projects,
and generally having fun. As some of you may have noticed, we have decided to
delay Autumn and allow the summer-like weather to stick around. With PE and a
lot of outdoor activities going on, a friendly request to make sure students
bring a change of clothes on PE days would be most appreciated. Ah, middle
school!
Coming up next week, we have a lot of after school
items. Our Boys’ and Girls’ basketball games start next week, we have a PTO
meeting, Band Boosters, and Parent/Teacher Conferences starting at 4:30 on
Thursday. There are still spots available if you have not signed up for
conferences yet. The link can be found on the SMS website under “ANNOUNCEMENTS”.
Friday will be the big day for the 8th grade geometry students as
the students from Hollymead come to visit the cardboard arcade the students
here have created. It is always great when we get one of our feeder schools to
interact with our Sharks.
If you happen to go to the AHS football game
tonight, cheer on our 8th grade Band students who will perform
during the game.
Have a terrific weekend and on with the news!
