ABMS South Family and Friends are invited to join South's Relay for Life team!
We would love for each and every one of you to join us in the fight against cancer. The lives of so many of our students and staff members have been touched by this disease. We relay in hopes for a cure someday.

Please visit the Relay for Life website at www.relayforlife.org, for more information about joining our team or making an online donation. When prompted to "SIGN UP OR FIND AN EVENT" enter "New Baltimore." Then click on "Relay for Life of New Baltimore - New Baltimore MI." Afterward, click on "31 Teams" and that's where you will find our team, South Pirates "Heave Ho" Cancer.

There are lots of ways to participate and our National Junior Honor Society students are leading the way with a video they created for the official kick-off of our Relay for Life efforts. Please check out their video " Relay for Life Video."
Feel free to contact our team captains, Laura Halajian and Linda Nemeth, at lhalajian@abs.misd.net and lnemeth@abs.misd.net if you have any questions.

At Middle School South, we collect Box Tops For Education every month to help support our Choir and Life Skills programs. Each Box Top is worth 10 cents and can be found on the following products: Betty Crocker, Fiber One, Nestle, Cheerios, Chex, Green Giant, Pillsbury, Hamburger Helper, Yoplait, Huggies, Scott, Cottonelle, Nature Valley, Hefty, Ziploc and many more!

Students can turn the Box Tops in to their first hour teacher and the class who collects the most each month wins a special breakfast treat!

Peer Mediation is a conflict resolution program in which trained student mediators help peers resolve interpersonal conflicts. Peer Mediation is voluntary, confidential and proven to be one of the most effective approaches to solving student disputes. It is monitored by a counselor or social worker. Students needing peer mediation may sign up in the counseling office.

The six grade classes are presented a program in the fall about how to recognize and handle bullying situations.

There is a confidential phone line that is monitored in the counseling office to report incidences of student to student bullying that is happening in school. That number is (586) 648-2500 ext. 2121

Each year, Macomb Family Services offers these programs in our school. These are individual or small group meetings, over six sessions for students struggling with anger or at-risk students in our school through the counseling office. These services are free of charge.

This is another program offered through Macomb Family Services. A prevention specialist trains approximately 10-15 students each year to join the ongoing group. These students can, if necessary, direct friends or other students to appropriate community resources for further assistance. The peer educator also provides and/or participates in activities that promote and encourage healthy choices within their schools or communities.
