Spring days at South Shore Charter have a distinct rhythm. This year, the pulse is one of growth and change. Kindergarten students are nearing the end of their first year of school. Eighth grade students with high school clearly in sight are preparing for an upcoming trip to Washington, DC. Meanwhile, our high school seniors are getting ready for graduation and life beyond SSCPS. This year we are proud to induct nine seniors into the Fraternity of Thirteen, an honor awarded to students who have been with us since kindergarten. We are also pleased to share the list of College Acceptances for the Class of 2025. The Class of 2025 has left its mark on South Shore Charter with a list of impressive accomplishments that are the result of hard work and dedication. This is the time for families to celebrate and enjoy all of their hard work and support that has elevated their child to impressive heights. We look forward to honoring the Class of 2025 at their upcoming Commencement on Friday, June 6, 2025.
This year marks our thirtieth year, one where school traditions have gone hand in hand with our mission. As we look to the future of South Shore Charter, we remain proud of school traditions both old and new. This spring, our school community came together to celebrate amazing events: African Diaspora Night, Literacy Night, and STEM night, to name a few. Our two most recent events, Multicultural Food Night in April and the SSCPS Spring Fair in May, provided more opportunities to celebrate our school. This year’s Multicultural Food Night was an evening filled with delicious dishes from around the world, great music, and fun festivities. It was a chance for all to gather and celebrate what makes our school so unique. This outstanding night was made possible by the hard work of the dedicated parent volunteers on the Multicultural Food Night Planning Committee who met weekly for months prior to the event. Tremendous thanks to our event organizers, Natacha Julien, SSCPS Trustee, and faculty members Sheina Prince-Eugene and Nadine Sullivan, along with students from the Multicultural Workshop, who worked countless hours to make this joyful event happen. The success of Multicultural Food Night shows how well we can work together, celebrate, and focus on what truly matters in our community.
Nowhere were these same tenets more evident than at the SSCPS Spring Fair here at school on Saturday. For six hours, our school community came together to enjoy a beautiful day of celebration and carnival fun. Students of all ages and their families spent time together playing games, bouncing and sliding, painting faces, running races, jumping rope, and enjoying being in one another’s company. Thank you to all who attended. Special thanks to our family and faculty members who tirelessly volunteered.
We owe a tremendous thank you to the SSCPS Fair Committee. The Student Council worked hard to ensure the day went smoothly and everyone had fun. It was a significant endeavor. This group of dedicated high school students devoted countless hours of thought and hard work into making the fair a reality for the second year in a row. Each member of the committee brought their unique talents to the table. Using last year’s event as a guide, every detail of the fair was well planned and mapped. We could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Congratulations David Anyanwu, Emily Houghton, Willow Shinney-Kalafatas, and Emily Walsh for a job well done. Special thanks to our hard working staff, Kristine Bingham, Kerri Doble, David Griffith, Wayne Heuer, and Rowena Samuels for all of their assistance with this enormous event.
South Shore Charter is pleased to offer another student-run event happening Friday, May 9. There will be heart screenings done by Who We Play For at 700 Longwater from 8:00am - 12:00pm. We owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to the Facey family for introducing us to this organization. Special thanks to SSCPS Senior Emily Houghton for spearheading this important initiative. If you are interested in signing your child up for screening, registration information is included in today’s update.
The South Shore Charter Public School community has embraced the opportunity to welcome new students and families to our school community. Regarding enrollment growth, we have held two new curriculum nights for the high school and Level IV. We have also held institutional growth information sessions for faculty and staff, as well as for families. The first Institutional Growth Family Zoom Meeting was on Tuesday, April 28. If you were unable to attend the meeting last Tuesday, questions may be posted here. The next institutional growth session for families will be at the upcoming Parents Association Meeting on May 13, 2025. We encourage you to attend and learn more about our plans for the next five years.
Thank you for your continued support.
