🐾💙💛 Celebrating Panther Pride at Southern Middle School! 💛💙🐾

We are so proud to recognize our Panther Pride winners from the first few weeks of school! These students were nominated by their teachers for demonstrating great character, making positive choices, working hard, and being wonderful examples of what it means to be a Southern Panther! 🌟

We also celebrated our first Athlete of the Week and Student of the Month! 🏆👏

We love taking time to recognize students who are doing great things, both inside and outside the classroom. We have so many amazing students at Southern, and we couldn’t be prouder of the way they represent our school!

Congratulations to all of our honorees! Keep leading by example and showing that Panther Pride is more than just school spirit—it’s how we treat others and the choices we make every day! 🐾
