6th grade AVID students at SYLVAN HILLS MIDDLE are learning a valuable lesson in honor and respect of the American flag. Mr. Watson taught the students how to properly fold the flag. These student groups volunteered to take down the flag at the end of each school day.
Mark your calendars! Tryouts for the SYLVAN HILLS MIDDLE girls basketball team are Tuesday, August 31, 4:15-5:15 p.m. These tryouts are for students who did not tryout in May and there are limited roster spots available. Tryouts are for 7th and 8th grade girls and will take place in the small gym at SHMS. Wear shorts, t-shirt, and appropriate shoes, and bring a water bottle. See you there!
