Middle school students came together for Chalk the Walk in recognition of Suicide Prevention Month. Students shared messages of hope and encouragement, and reminders that no one has to face difficult times alone. What a meaningful way to spread positivity and show that our school community cares!
South Plainfield Middle School remembered the 25th Anniversary of September 11, 2001, with a courtyard ceremony. We are so thankful to the MANY first responders and veterans who attended our ceremony. We are especially grateful to the very special guests who took part in the ceremony and made it a lasting memory. Great job to the students that participated AND to the students who watched attentively and respectfully!

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.
