Shepherd Middle BlueJay Bulletin
Last week was a busy time for our students. Eighth graders completed the PSAT and, by all accounts, approached the assessment with focus and effort. We look forward to sharing results when they become available. Looking ahead, MSTEP testing for all grades will begin in the coming weeks.
On Friday, our student planned dance was a success. Students not only had fun, but those involved in organizing gained experience in planning and teamwork while creating a fun time for their peers. A few group dance videos are included below for families to enjoy.
This week, sixth grade students will release the salmon they have been raising at the Chippewa Nature Center. Seventh graders will visit Career and Technical Education programs in Mt. Pleasant as they begin thinking ahead to high school opportunities.
Please note that this is a short week, as there will be no school on Friday and Monday in observance of the Maple Syrup Festival.
This week, we are reminding students that progress and personal growth take time. Struggle is a natural part of learning, and perseverance helps us move forward one step at a time.
Try this at home: Share a personal story with your child about something that took time and effort to accomplish.
