SOMS Announcements

Cycle Day 1

Attention All Students: If the temperature is between 21 and 45 degrees you MUST have a minimum of either a sweatshirt or fleece jacket to go outside for recess.  If the temperature drops below 21 degrees, there will be no outdoor recess.  Please remember to bring your jacket to recess if you want to go outside during recess!

Congratulations and job well done to our NJHS members who helped to organize and run last night’s Souperbowl event.  With their hard work and the help of our students and staff we raised over $2000 to help the Make A Wish Foundation.  The NJHS members want to extend a special thank you to the members of the Cooking, French and Italian Clubs for the wonderful soups they made and donated, to all Art and Technology students who created and donated items for sale and to the teachers and students who came and made last night’s event such a success.

Please be advised that Quarter 3 begins today, Monday, January 27th.  E3 begins today as well.  Lists for 7th grade E3 Explore and Study Halls will be hanging outside the library.  Lists for 8th grade E3 Explores and Study Halls will be hanging outside of the Guidance office.

Due to the start of the second semester, today, Monday, January 27 is Cycle Day 1.

The next meeting of the Spanish Club will be held Wednesday, January 29 after school in Room 234.  We will work on our posters for the upcoming Teddy Bear Sale and hang them around the building.  Please make every effort to attend!

It is that time of year again!  SOMS is looking for a talented 6th or 7th grade student to design the cover of next year’s Agenda Book!  The Agenda Cover Drawing theme invites you to illustrate the theme What Have You Done for Others Today?  Think about your family and community, what inspires you to help others?  What inspires you to put others first and yourself second?  This is open for interpretation and creativity.  Entries are due by the last week in January.  Have a great experience illustrating your inspiration!

The 2020 SOMS Yearbooks are now on sale!  Add your own photos and memories by customizing two free pages.  Download the free TreeRing app!!  The deadline to order and customize your book is April 24, 2020.  The price of the yearbook is $29.12 (upgrade to hardcover for an additional cost).  You can order online directly through TreeRing.  Flyers were already distributed during homeroom.  See the SOMS website for more information or contact Mrs. Rutherford.
