Mrs. Shawnie Hays
Greetings SHES Families,
I'm not quite sure where this school year has gone, but it sure has flown by. Thank you to those who were able to attend our PTO Chili Feed and Basket Raffle and those who donated items to our baskets. Our next PTO event is this Saturday, Pancakes & PJ's with Santa, from 9:00-11:00 at SHES. Hope you can join us!
Thank you for helping your student with our Major Saver Fundraiser. Tomorrow, December 3rd is the last day to sell cards. Prizes for students will be delivered to school on Thursday, December 5th.
As we finish up this first semester, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and kindness to my hard working staff and myself! I absolutely love our SHES community and it's because of you all!
Have a safe and wonderful Holiday!
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I can be reached at

Sincerely,
Shawnie Hays, Principal
Happy December, Thunderbolts!
Hang on tight, because the next few weeks are going to be fast and furious! This is one of my favorite times of the year. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, there are so many opportunities for us to sit back and reflect on all of the wonderful things around us. Becoming a part of the SHES family is certainly at the top of that list for me. I want to extend my deepest gratitude for each and every one of you; you have welcomed me into the SHES community with open arms and made my first few months here such a joy. I hope to never take for granted the gift of being truly excited to come to work every day; thank you for your part in that.
In the coming weeks, students will be working hard to wrap up the first semester. We will be concluding our winter FastBridge testing window, finishing up end-of-semester learning targets, taking part in all of the holiday excitement, and preparing to call the 2nd quarter a wrap. As always, students and staff will be living by and practicing the 8 keys of excellence that help us to always be the best version of ourselves.
We look forward to another great month here at SHES. As always, please reach out to me with questions or clarifications at clayk@usd450.net or 785-730-5183.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season,
Katie Clay, Assistant Principal
