Only With A Great Deal Of Help

Just about any day now, each of the homes affiliated with the South community will receive their Fall Registration Packet in preparation for the opening of school. Ironically, this mailing is often referred to as the "Principal's Mailing". In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.

Back on July 22, the registration packets were put together here at school. Using one of the classrooms in the new science addition, there were approximately 50 volunteers weaving among the tables picking up flyers that were earmarked for each of the packets. The work began at shortly after 8:00 and ended just before noon. Needless to say, it is a huge undertaking to stuff almost 2,000 packets with all of the requisite information that is sent to the homes.

I have to thank many members of the Mother's Club, and especially the new president, Jane Bashara, for putting together such a strong group of volunteers. In addition, there were several fathers and students involved with this year's mailing.

Please take the time to go through the packet carefully. Each of the flyers has a specific purpose, and we are often asked at a later date about information that was provided in the registration packet.

We are looking forward to another successful year with our South students and parents.
