The girls varsity soccer coach is offering a winter futsal program for girls in grades 5 and 6 on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 6:45 at Memorial Middle School. Futsal is a fast-paced, fun and exciting form of indoor soccer that is great for players of all abilities. Each week there will be skills activities followed by games. The emphasis is on learning new skills and enhancing existing abilities in a fun atmosphere. The cost of the program is $45 per player and includes a ball and t-shirt. Financial assistance is available if needed. The program begins February 1 and runs for 8 to 10 weeks, depending on the weather (if there is no school, there is no futsal). To register or for more information, visitwww.sopofutsal.com or email or call Coach Jeff Selser at jtselser1@gmail.com and 207-332-9110.
The past couple of years the PTA have asked students to sell Yankee Candle items in order to raise money. This year we have decided to do a 'No Frills' fundraiser. Many of you may be familiar with this idea. Instead of asking families to buy and sell items, we are looking for families to simply make a donation. Please click here for the details. As with any fundraiser, we thank you very much for your support!
South Portland School Department Phone Drive: Donate your old phone to help the SPSD InfoTech Department bring new and exciting technology to classrooms around the district!
What do we need?
● Use with VR headsets so students can take virtual field trips.
● Connect with Twitter or other social media platforms to share classroom learning in real time.
● Use as a controller for robotics or drones.
Where can you bring your phones?
First wipe your phone by doing a factory reset, then bring it to any of the schools in the district. There will be drop off boxes in the front offices.
