In Observance of Memorial Day NO SCHOOL
🎉 State testing is officially complete! 🎉
We are so proud of our students who shine in so many ways—academically, creatively, and in their perseverance. Our theme this year was “Do it Stress, Do Your Best” and our students truly rose to the occasion!
To celebrate, the whole building enjoyed a sweet reward… 🍩 DONUTS!
Great job to all our amazing students and staff—you earned it! 💪👏 #DoItStress #WeDidOurBest #ProudSchoolMoments
At Shelby Middle School, we LOVE our teachers! Their passion, commitment, and dedication to helping all students succeed is truly inspiring. Whether it’s staying late to offer extra help, creating engaging lessons, or finding ways to connect with every learner, our teachers go above and beyond every single day.
Last week, we took time to show our appreciation with some sweet treats and frozen yogurt for our amazing teachers and staff. Thank you for everything you do—you make a difference!
