Community Day
Community Day was a (sunny!) success. We had so much fun cheering on our Varsity Girls Soccer team, who beat Huntington 1-0 in the final minutes! Way to go, girls! We would like to say THANK YOU to all of the programs who helped make this annual event festive, welcoming, and fun. Thank you to the PTA and the Booster Clubs; thank you to the Tigerettes and their advisor, Ani Atoyan; thank you to Band and their teacher, Mr. Ferrell; and last but not least, thank you to SPMS’s beloved mascot, South Paws.

In partnership with the South Pasadena DUDES (Dads Uniting Dads in Education and Service), Boosters will be holding its 9th annual Main Event Poker Tournament on Saturday night, March 23rd. The event will once again be held at the War Memorial Building. Stay tuned for more information.

Intramural Basketball
This week, we are excited to introduce intramural basketball! We have phenomenal middle school and high school basketball teams. Intramural basketball is a great way for your student to learn, practice, and play the sport. We hope to see your students in the gym on Mondays and Wednesdays. Has your student played an intramural sport this year? Yes? Then please become a member of Athletic Boosters HERE.

Once enrolled it’s simple to purchase the gift card through the app and use it to buy everyday items from groceries, hardware, clothes, coffee, etc. Participants can use the app to search for participating retailers. I’m going to encourage all on the board to try it out. I’ve sent it to a few folks, but I’m the first to buy a card and start purchasing.

Join Boosters
Thanks to donations from families like yours, Boosters recently provided our intramural program with new dodgeballs and our competitive soccer teams with new soccer balls, as well as some new uniforms! Unfortunately, our four soccer teams are only at 50% booster membership. We like to remind families that the middle school athletic program is NOT funded by the district. Instead, we depend upon funding through community sponsors, fundraising events, merchandise sales, and most significantly, from FAMILY DONATIONS through our booster memberships. Let’s try to increase that soccer number to 100% by next week. Please click HERE to become a member, and feel free to email us at info@spmsathleticboosters.org to learn if you are or are not a member.
Thank you for your membership!

Weather Alerts
While we love singing in the rain, it does not make for the best  playing conditions. Please check your Parentsquare and email accounts to learn if intramural sports, competitive sports, and possibly Community Day have been cancelled or postponed due to the weather.
