Southside Middle School Falcon Camp helps 7th grade students ease in to middle school Southside Middle School hosted our annual Falcon Camp for incoming 7th graders in August. The event is organized by the guidance department and serves as a welcome for new students as they transition to middle school. Students were greeted by the Southside cheerleading squad as they entered a “pep rally” type atmosphere in which they were introduced to what it means to be a Southside Falcon. Students toured the building, participated in short informational sessions with faculty members, and were given a school string backpack loaded with Southside goodies! Principal Shand Josey states, “Falcon Camp is a great way to ease the anxiety that many students feel as they prepare for middle school. Southside is a large campus and giving students the opportunity to learn their way around and meet their teachers before that big first day of school is an important part of making their move to middle school smoother.” Falcon Camp also provided an opportunity for students to see firsthand the enhancements that took place over the summer to the Southside campus. Freshly painted classrooms, new landscaping, a newly paved parking lot, and new furniture have given the school a fresh look to start the 2019-2020 school year. A turnout of over 300 students for Falcon Camp set the tone for what is going to be a fantastic year for our Southside faculty, staff, and students.
