Last Wednesday, middle school students and staff participated in a PINK OUT to show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. When we wear pink, we’re standing together to honor those who have battled breast cancer, to support those still fighting, and to raise awareness for early detection and research.

Students in Ms. Rendon's Spanish 1 class celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month with great enthusiasm. Students learned traditional dances and a beautiful Spanish Song, created colorful paper flowers, and recited poems that highlighted the richness of Hispanic culture. The classroom was filled with music, laughter, and creativity as they proudly shared their work. It was a joyful and meaningful experience that helped them appreciate the diversity and beauty of Hispanic traditions, they truly enjoyed every moment of it!

In honor of Suicide Prevention Month, the students at South Plainfield Middle School completed a “Chalk the Walk” activity! Nearly the entire student body participated in the event where they were encouraged to use chalk to write or draw a positive affirmation on the campus sidewalk. The students enjoyed being a potential “light” in someone’s dark day as well as spending a little time outside!

On Thursday, September 11, 2025 the Middle School acknowledged the 24th anniversary of the terrible events of September 11th, 2001 with a moving ceremony in the courtyard surrounding our September 11th monument. The students were extremely respectful and attentive. The students who participated in the ceremony performed flawlessly. Our Middle School family was impressed and extremely grateful for the tremendous support offered by our many guests including SP School District administrators, Board of Education members, local and state government officials, and various parents and members of the community. We were especially overwhelmed by the many first responders and veterans who attended and repeatedly support our assemblies including 9/11, Veterans Day, and Memorial Day. Thank you, students, for showing these guests what Middle School students are capable of!

To welcome our middle school students back to class, club advisors set up a "photo booth" style greeting. What a great way to make a positive start and create lasting memories for our kids. We have a bunch of rock stars here at SPMS! Shout out to Mrs. McLaughlin and Mrs. LiVecchi for making this happen!
