Dear community,

We’re excited to keep you informed and connected with all that’s happening at South Side School. Each week, we’ll share important updates, upcoming events, and reminders.

Celebrate CTE Month with FCCLA!

In honor of Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month, our FCCLA chapter invites all students to join us in showing appreciation for the departments that prepare our students for the future! We have an exciting spirit week planned from February 9th through February 12th, and we’d love to see everyone participate. Here is the lineup for the week:
  • Monday: "Don’t Sleep on FCCLA" – Kick off the week in your favorite PJs.
  • Tuesday: "Red and White Day" – Show your school and club spirit by wearing red and white.
  • Wednesday: "Duo Day" – Grab a friend and dress up as your favorite famous duo.
  • Thursday: "Show the Love for CTE" – Get festive and wear your best Valentine’s Day gear.

Daddy-Daughter Dance

Get ready to make some magical memories! We are thrilled to invite our students and their fathers (or father figures) to the Daddy Daughter Dance on February 21. We will transform the Old Gym into a dance floor from 5:30 to 7:30 PM, where you can enjoy an evening of music and a delicious Italian dinner. Tickets are $30 per couple and $10 for each additional daughter. To secure your spot for this special night, please submit your registration form and payment to the Upper Elementary office by Friday, February 13. We can't wait to see you there!

Warm Hearts and Toasty Toes: Senior Beta Valentine’s Day Sock Fundraiser!

Put your best foot forward this Valentine's Day by supporting our Senior Beta Club’s Sock Fundraiser! For just $3, you can send a cozy pair of festive socks along with a personalized message to a student, friend, or teacher. To participate, please complete an order form with the recipient's name, grade, teacher, and your special note. Please return the completed form along with exact change addressed to Megan Lankford. While our Beta members will take care to select styles appropriate for the recipient, please note that specific patterns and colors cannot be guaranteed. It’s a "toe-tally" wonderful way to spread some cheer while helping our Senior Beta students reach their goals!
