Our middle school students continue to impress us with their dedication and talent! Working collaboratively and taking the lead on this vision, students created a beautiful mural that will brighten our school for years to come.
Our students continue to amaze us with their creativity and ability to make our school a welcoming and inspiring place for everyone. Thank you to our student artists- Savannah Makely, Rayna Turk, Melissa Gunning, Eve Jean-Peirre, Madison Sanchez, Mya Cabrera- and to Mrs. Santana for helping bring this project to life!
Middle school students participated in Day of Service on Friday, May 29th. We had such a successful day at the car wash with students and staff going to work to support Hope for Paws Humane Society. Included some fun fundraisers as well, our volleyball tournament and color run were exciting events for our kids to raise money as well.
Thank you so much to the South Plainfield Community for supporting our efforts, visiting our carwash, and donating so many needed pet supplies. Final count is not in, but we raised over $4000 for the shelter! Amazing day all around.
Highlight: Girls in STEM
Teaching girls about STEM in middle school provides an opportunity to help build confidence, curiosity, and problem-solving skills at an early age. Middle school is often the time when students begin deciding what subjects they enjoy and what careers they may want in the future. Encouraging students to participate in science, technology, engineering, and math projects shows them that they belong in these fields and can succeed in them!
Recently, STEM club members explored the concept of hydraulics and built a bridge prototype. Two students, Nadia and Naila Quow, showed great curiosity and enthusiasm while learning about how hydraulics work. Their 8th Grade STEM teacher, Mrs. White, provided additional materials and encouraged them to expand their ideas by designing machines that used hydraulic systems. After individually researching and brainstorming, Naila created a crane capable of lifting heavy metal objects, and Nadia designed a claw machine used to retrieve prizes. Both projects successfully demonstrated the students’ understanding and application of hydraulic principles as well as critical thinking skills that are valuable in any career path. So proud of these girls and their BRIGHT future!
Each poppy was designed by students, writing messages of gratitude and remembrance on the back of their flowers. These poppies serve as a powerful reminder of the courage, service, and sacrifice of our fallen soldiers. We hope you are able to stop by the middle school to see this community project this weekend.

As part of our Day of Service goal, South Plainfield Middle School will be collecting pet supplies for the homeless animals at the humane society. Please drop your donations off at the middle school or your child's home school now through May 29th! Thank you for your kindness and support!!
Hello South Plainfield Community- We are excited to come together in support of a cause that is truly close to the hearts of many of our students, staff, and families- Hope for Paws (formerly Plainfield Area Humane Society).
As part of our District-Wide Day of Service, South Plainfield Middle School is selling commemorative t-shirts, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the Humane Society! This is a wonderful way to make a meaningful impact while also showing our school spirit and pride in helping others.
By purchasing a shirt, you will not only be contributing to the care and support of animals in need, but will also be able to proudly wear it on our Day of Service as a symbol of compassion and community.
This sale is not limited to our students. We encourage parents, siblings, and members of the community to join in! Community members can collect their shirt at SPMS or your home school on our Day of Service.
Our selling window is short. Orders are accepted through May 8th, but the impact lasts much longer. Think of it as a limited time offer with unlimited good karma.

For March Mindfulness, our middle school students participated in board games, Jenga, and yoga during lunches! This was a nice way to escape the busy cafeteria while we waited for warmer weather and outdoor space.
