School's out!

The final talent show at good old South Middle School was a success and it ended, fittingly, with Volt, consisting of eighth graders (now former eighth graders) Dylan Caldwell, James Kittrell, Mac Owen, and Matt Parsons, performing "School's Out."

This is the first of many memories of the final day and the last several weeks, including videos and photos that will be posted on Room 210 News. Keep watching for more:
