These Middle School Junior Betas did an outstanding job at State Convention over the past 2 days!!! It has been a wonderful learning experience. We have learned to cheer each other on, to win with grace, and to not win gracefully as well. No matter what each contest outcome was, please know that these kids all worked very hard to prepare and really stepped up and, quite often, stepped out of their comfort zone.
Parents, thank you so much for allowing your children to be a part of Southside Junior Beta Club! I am amazed at how much they have grown this year!!!
⭐️31 students competed in 43 different individual and team contests.
⭐️We brought home 20 Top 5 Awards
⭐️We have 4 State Champions!
Next stop - NATIONAL CONVENTION!!!
We are BETA TOGETHER 💙💛💙
SMS 5th grade Quiz Bowl Team is the Champion Team! They won their State Beta Convention Competition in Hot Springs. These amazing students made it through the written test and then 3 oral rounds!
We are so proud of them!
Happy National Assistant Principal Week to the very best, Brad McGhee. His contributions to student success often happen behind the scenes, but do not go unnoticed. Southside Middle School runs smoother because of his hard work and dedication on a daily basis. #bettertogether

This week, Ms. Macy’s art students celebrated spring by recycling old papers and using them to create seed bombs! Students used wildflower seeds so that they could throw them in the grass and encourage more flowers to grow this spring. Apparently some of the seeds couldn't wait until they were in the grass to start growing!
