SSHS Halloween Program a Success

The first SSHS Community Outreach Halloween celebration at South Side was a huge success.  The school hosted over 2000 future students and their families, and after running out of 800 lbs of candy in the first hour, Mr. Mable had to make an emergency run to CVS and Walmart to restock the various stations.  The festivities were the result of the hard work of students and staff who volunteered their time to decorate the school, staff the various activities, and help everyone enjoy a fun filled, SAFE evening of Trick and Treating..  Thanks South Side, you make us proud.
