🎉🐯 That’s a Wrap, Shepard Tigers! 🐯🎉

Today marks the last day of another incredible school year at Shepard! What a year it has been filled with learning, growth, friendships, laughter, and so many special memories.

We are so proud of all of our students for their hard work, perseverance, and dedication throughout the year. Thank you to our amazing teachers and staff for the countless ways you support and inspire our students every day. A special thank you also goes to our families for your partnership and support throughout the school year.

We ended the year with a special Victory Lap for our 3rd grade students as they made their way through the halls one final time at Shepard. Lined by cheering students and staff, it was a wonderful celebration of their accomplishments and a chance to recognize all they have achieved during their time with us. We are excited to watch them continue to grow and succeed in the years ahead!

As we head into summer, we hope everyone takes time to relax, have fun, make new memories, and enjoy time with family and friends.

Have a safe, happy, and fun-filled summer, Tigers! We can’t wait to see you again next school year!

🧡🖤 Once a Shepard Tiger, always a Shepard Tiger! 🐯

🐯🎉 **ACE Club Celebration!** 🎉🐯

All year long, our students have worked hard to earn recognition as an **ACE (Above and Beyond Champion of Excellence)** winner! Each week, two teachers secretly look for students who go above and beyond by being kind friends, working hard academically, and living out our Tiger Pledge.

ACE winners earned the opportunity to ride scooters with Mr. Peachey and help collect our weekly Tiger Tickets!

To celebrate our ACE winners from throughout the school year, every student who earned ACE recognition was entered into a live raffle drawing during our end-of-year celebration. We are excited to share that **four lucky students were selected to win a scooter to take home!** 🛴✨

Congratulations to our raffle winners and to every student who earned ACE this year. Your kindness, leadership, hard work, and positive choices have helped make Shepard a great place to learn and grow. We are proud of each and every one of you!
