Hello Mustangs,
A huge thank you to our students, staff, and families for the incredible energy you brought to Stress Less Spirit Week and our Month of the Military Child celebrations. Your amazing participation reminds us how strong our school spirit remains, even as the spring schedule begins to pick up. Looking ahead to May, we are excited to honor our educators during Staff Appreciation Week and support our students through their upcoming SOL testing. It is truly hard to believe that only eight weeks remain in the school year, but we are committed to finishing this journey strong together. As always, thank you for your continued support, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, feedback, or concerns. We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday!
Justin Simmons | Principal | South County Middle School
