Shorewood Hills Elementary School PTO

It’s almost yearbook time! The Shorewood Hills PTO provides every student at SHES with a full-color yearbook, which costs $10 to print. They include school portraits, candid photos of school events, group activities, and class photos.

The PTO is able to sustain this annual initiative when families, who are willing and able, cover the cost of their student's yearbook.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated and ensure that we can continue to provide yearbooks to all students.

Donation forms will be going home in Friday Folders.

It was chilly, but the sun was out for today's Bike & Roll to School event. Three cheers for People Powered Transportation!!

We are incredibly grateful to Glenn, Shakela and team at Einstein Bros. Bagels (corner of University and Farley Ave) for donating bagels, cream cheese and coffee to feed our school community. We had plenty of leftovers that we were able to share with the school staff. THANK YOU!

We'd love for the Shorewood Shark community to show them some love and stop by their location the next time you're thinking about grabbing some bagels.

Thank you to the Shorewood Hills Police Department and UW-Madison Police Department for partnering with us! The students had fun visiting your bike safety/information table and meeting your therapy dogs.
