Shepherd Middle BlueJay Bulletin
I hope everyone is enjoying the start of May and the signs of spring around our community.
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and the Shepherd SKY Group has organized a number of ways to recognize and support our staff. If you are interested in contributing, you can sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0F49AEAF28A2F49-63846916-shepherd
Our 6th and 7th grade students will be participating in MSTEP testing throughout the week. Seventh grade students will test on Monday and Wednesday, while sixth grade students will test on Tuesday and Thursday. We encourage all students to get a good night’s rest and come to school ready to do their best.
In addition to testing, our 6th grade students will be releasing the salmon they have raised in Mrs. Gimmey’s class at the Chippewa Nature Center on Monday. This is a meaningful, hands-on learning experience that connects science and environmental stewardship. Our 7th grade students will participate in the K-12 Education Pow Wow on Tuesday, providing an opportunity to engage in cultural learning and community.
As we begin the month of May, our character focus is Integrity. Students will explore what it means to do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Integrity builds trust and helps develop strong leaders within our school community.
Try this at home: Ask your child, “What does integrity mean to you?” or “When have you seen someone show integrity?”
