A logo for Spencer Butte Middle School.  The logo features a stylized illustration of a school building situated on a stylized landscape with rolling hills and water.  The building is depicted in dark navy blue, with large, light-blue windows visible. Pine trees are outlined in light blue at the top of the image, behind the building. The hills and water are rendered in varying shades of light blue. Below the illustration, the words "SPENCER BUTTE" are written in a clean, sans-serif font in dark navy blue. "Middle School" is written in a smaller, matching font below that. The overall color scheme is cool toned, using shades of blue and white.

Spartan Update

Week of 10/12/26

Picture of a school that captures the SBMS school campus area under a bright, clear sky. The architecture is characterized by mid-century modern design elements: slanted rooftops with clean lines, supported by slender columns, giving a sense of openness and functionality. The foreground features a row of trees, some with lush green foliage and others displaying vibrant autumnal colors, suggesting a transition in seasons. These trees add natural warmth and breathing space to the otherwise structured environment. Alongside the trees, neatly kept bushes and a paved walkway create a welcoming atmosphere for students or visitors. In the background, the school buildings are made of stucco and large glass windows, emphasizing both durability and the importance of natural light. The overall scene evokes a tranquil, well-maintained educational setting.

Note from Principal Paula Nolan

Hello SBMS Community! 

Thank You! Walk the Amazon
Thank you to all of our volunteers who came on Wednesday to chaperone the Walk the Amazon fall fundraiser celebration! The students had a great time and the walk was a great opportunity for students and staff to continue to build positive relationships in advisory classes. After lunch we had a fun tug of war competition (won by Mr. Lawless's 6th Grade Advisory) and fun activities throughout the school. In addition to something different and fun, these types of school-wide activities help to promote school connection and attendance.

Monday 10/12/26- Indigenous People's Day in Oregon
Monday is a school day and also Indigenous People's Day in Oregon. Since 2021 our state has designated the second Monday in October as Indigenous People's Day. In 2021 then Sen. Majority Leader Rob Wagner said, “The state of Oregon will become the 11th state to formally recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Our Indigenous people, language and cultures contribute incredible richness and vitality to the tapestry of the place we now call Oregon.”

The University of Oregon's Museum of Natural and Cultural History is offering free admission from 10-5 on Monday the 12th and they also offer free virtual visits to the Oregon- Where Past is Present exhibit and other online virtual galleries.

Tuesday- Cross Country Meet @ Oak Hill School
The Cross Country Team will be at Oak Hill School on Tuesday. More details will be provided to families via email from the coaching staff.
