Students interested in participating in wrestling should report to the gymnasium at Church Hill Middle School immediately after school on Monday, September 28. There are no tryouts or qualifications required to participate! Students will be taught everything they need to know and will be matched with opponents who are similar in size for their matches. Important: Students must have a current sports physical on file before participating. If your student is interested, we’d love to see them give wrestling a try! 🤼

College Shirt Day! Yesterday our Eagles were invited to wear their favorite college shirts, and the teachers decorated their classroom doors to show off their alma maters. We know our Eagles' futures are so bright!

Hello, SMS families! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to those who I have not yet met personally. I'm Jamie Green and this is my third school year as Communities in Schools Student Support Coordinator at Surgoinsville Middle School. The students all know me as the organizer of all of the fun attendance incentives, the keeper of the snacks and candy, and the person they can come to if they want to celebrate, vent or sometimes even shed a tear. Communities in Schools is a non-profit with a mission to surround students and families with a community of support in order to encourage success at school and in the future. I motivate students to come to school everyday with attendance competitions, pop-up rewards on random days, and simply by being someone who is happy to see them here everyday. I can also provide academic support, help with basic needs, and I'm a cheerleader for every single student on campus. I'm not a counselor or therapist, just a former teacher who always wanted to do MORE for her students and their families...and Communities in Schools is exactly that! It's an honor to call SMS home and I look forward to getting to know each of you more in the future! Flyer information: SURGOINSVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL WALKING ON AIR TOSCHOOL UP To $100 ONE WINNER! WIN A PAIR OF SHOES! There will be a whole school competition between all students at Surgoinsville Middle School. Students who have perfect attendance for the entire month of September will be entered to win a pair of shoes of their choice. The winner will be chosen on Tuesday, September 30. Good luck, everyone!

Last Thursday, families were invited to join our teachers for STREAM night. From building corn hole boards to designing pennants, students and their families enjoyed a number of fun STREAM activities. A huge shout out to our math and science teachers for preparing this event, and an extra special thank you to Ms. Tammy Webb for her endless hard work to make our family engagement events a huge success.

Tutoring begins this Wednesday from 3:00–4:00 p.m. Students must have a permission slip on file before they may stay for tutoring. All students staying for tutoring should report to Ms. Seaver’s classroom at 3:00 p.m. and come prepared with any work, materials, or resources they may need for the day. Pick-up will be in the front of the school. We look forward to helping our students get the extra support they need!
