Did you know? Every morning, our school offers FREE snacks with breakfast - and everyone can grab them! 🙌
Even if your child already ate breakfast at home or isn’t hungry right away, they can still pick up Goldfish 🐟, Craisins 🍇, cheese sticks 🧀, fruit 🍌and more to enjoy later during snack time.
The best part? It’s completely FREE for every student! 💛 Thank you, MASD Food Service!
Today our Shep students and staff proudly wore orange to stand together against bullying and promote kindness.
Our first graders are exploring the human body this week! 🧠✨ Miss Gartner even wore the digestive system to show how food travels through our bodies! 🍎🥕💨 It’s so exciting to see their curiosity in action!
🚌 IT’S NATIONAL SCHOOL BUS SAFETY WEEK // Every day, our amazing bus drivers safely transport our Wildcats — rain or shine, morning and afternoon, always with care. Thank you for the patience, smiles, and watchful eyes that keep our students safe.
🚨 Safety reminder: When a bus has its stop arm out and red lights flashing, all traffic must stop — in both directions. Through our enforcement program that equips each school bus with stop-arm cameras, law enforcement issued 131 citations in May and September to drivers who illegally passed stopped MASD buses.
Let’s all do our part to keep Wildcats safe. ❤️ Slow down, stay alert, and always stop on red!

Second graders are currently learning about strategies to solve addition problems, and we know that learning combinations of 10 can help us! Fishing for 10 is a fun way to practice those combinations.
Ask your second grader what the combinations of 10 are!
Our 2nd graders have been exploring Ancient Greece in their CKLA unit! After reading all about the two famous city-states, Athens and Sparta, students used what they learned to write opinion pieces about where they’d rather live.
🎭 Athens: A place for learning, art, and democracy!
🛡️ Sparta: Known for strength, discipline, and bravery!
Students backed up their opinions with facts from their reading - just like real historians and writers. 💬🧠
Here are some pictures from Mrs. Goldsborough's class. We’re so proud of our Wildcats for thinking deeply, writing clearly, and sharing their voices! 🐾✨
This is sure to be a fun read!
