Recently, Shepherd High School shared some "social/emotional learning "with Shepherd Elementary second graders. Project AWARE counselor Morgan Harnish led the way! Here is a quote from second grade teacher Shelly Carroll, "Morgan, your presenters did great and the kids LOVED making the scribble stones. They had great conversations with us and really connected with the kids. It was so sweet...as they were leaving one of your girls told my kids that she was really nervous and was expecting kids who were not very nice but she was so relieved when we were so kind and genuinely happy that they came and shared with us. Loved that! " FANTASTIC cross-age connections and well done students and staff!!

Mr. TerBurgh again this year, in conjunction with his in-depth Civil War unit, took all 8th graders to the cemetery just south of town along Federal Road. What lasting learning and deep connections to curriculum this activity provides!!

Our last group of "Build it with a BlueJay was with Mrs. Sanchez's fourth grade class. Students were partnered up to build a suet bird feeder with a high school student. Each fourth graders' suet feeder was personalized with the initials of their last name engraved on the top. Thank you Mrs. Sanchez and class for visiting the woodshop!

At the Graduation Ceremony yesterday - during the speeches of the Valedictorian and the Salutatorian - you may have heard mention of this AMAZING fact... Both Tristan Leonard (salutatorian) and Xavier Catrell (valedictorian) received their Eagle Rank this past Saturday after successfully completing their Eagle Board of Review! Both started in the Shepherd Cub Scout Pack and moved into the Shepherd Boy Scout Troop. They continued their scouting careers in both the Alma Boy Scout Troop and the Alma Venturing Crew. Only about 4% of scouts earn the Eagle Scout Rank. We're so proud of their amazing accomplishments!

Mr. Russell and his Advanced woods students invited Mrs. Russell's 4th grade class over today for "Build it with a BlueJay". The students were paired up with high school students to build a suet bird feeder together. It was a great time for all who participated. Keep an eye out for rounds 2, 3, and 4 in the next couple of weeks.
