Shepherd Middle BlueJay Bulletin
Last week, we wrapped up a majority of our M-STEP testing. The students really seemed to take the assessments seriously, and we are now down to just a few students needing to finish. We appreciate the effort and focus our students demonstrated throughout the testing process.
Our 6th graders also said goodbye as they released the salmon they have been raising in Mrs. Gimmey’s classroom. A special thank you to Mrs. Gimmey for the countless hours of work before and after school that helped make this project possible.
Miigwetch to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe for their continued partnership and generosity while hosting our 7th grade students at the K-12 Education Pow Wow last week. It was a valuable and memorable experience for our students.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to everyone who helped support and appreciate our teaching staff through SKY by sending in snacks, drinks, meals, and other thoughtful contributions throughout Teacher Appreciation Week. We truly appreciate the support and care you continue to provide for our team.
This week, our students will participate in a send-off for our graduating BlueJays as our seniors finish their scholastic journey here in Shepherd. We are proud of our seniors and look forward to celebrating this milestone with them.
This week, we are focusing on what integrity looks like in real life: following through, taking responsibility, and resisting shortcuts. Students are learning that how they act, especially when no one is watching, defines their character more than what they say.
Try this at home: Ask your child, “What’s one way you showed integrity this week?” Celebrate even the small wins.
