ADULT SCHOOL SUMMER PROGRAMMING: The South Orange-Maplewood Adult School Children’s Summer Program runs from June 26-July 21 and offers more than 100 classes in creative arts, music, science, and sports. Students in first through ninth grades get to choose their own classes (there are five periods in a day) and the day can be as long or short as you like. This summer the program will be located at South Orange Middle School. Specialty classes range from coding and a musical theater camp to TV production and wizard camp—and nearly everything in between. Sports offerings include basketball, fencing, track, soccer, girls volleyball, and gymnastics. Call 973.378.7620 or visit somadultschool.org for more information.
MMS SCHOOL STORE: Let’s keep spreading the love to the MMS School Store! The School Store Wish List is HERE. Or donate funds via Pay Pal HERE. Or drop off items you purchase in the Main Office. In addition to snacks and waters the School Store would love to have school supplies in its inventory. Please contact Ms. O’Sullivan at mosulliv@somsd.k12.nj.us to coordinate any deliveries or to ask questions. Thank you!
TISSUES NEEDED: It’s allergy season and Nurse Porter has put in a request for tissue boxes in all classrooms. If you’re willing to donate, please have your student deliver any boxes to their first period teachers. Thank you!
Have a great week, and see you Thursday at School in Action Night!
