South Junior High Families,

Our 8th grade students are preparing for their Capstone Presentations, an important milestone where they reflect on their learning and growth during their time at South JHS. This experience is very similar to a Senior Exit Interview, where students present their journey, accomplishments, and future goals to a panel of community members.

We would love for parents, family members, and community friends to be part of this special experience by serving as Capstone Panelists. Panelists will listen to student presentations, ask a few questions, and provide encouragement as students share their South JHS experience.

📅 Dates: Friday, May 1 or Monday, May 4
⏰ Panel Time: 8:00–9:15 AM (Check-in begins at 7:30 AM)

This is a meaningful opportunity to support and celebrate our students as they prepare for high school. Your presence helps make this experience authentic and memorable for them.

If you are interested in participating, please scan the QR code on the flyer to sign up.

Thank you for continuing to support our South JHS students!
