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.
