Happy World Teachers’ Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible teachers who show up every day to inspire, challenge, encourage, and believe in our students.

At Shepherd Middle School, our teachers do so much more than teach lessons. They build relationships, create opportunities, celebrate growth, and help our students discover what they are capable of becoming.

To our Shepherd teachers: Thank you for bringing your passion, patience, creativity, and heart to school every day. You make Shepherd a special place to learn and grow!

Happy World Teachers’ Day to the educators who make a difference every single day!

🧹💛 Happy National Custodians Appreciation Day! 💛🧹

Today, we want to give a HUGE shout-out to our three amazing Shepherd Middle School custodians: Donny Russell, Chris Chiaventone and Sandy Crabb

Our custodians work hard every single day to make Shepherd a clean, safe, welcoming, and comfortable place for our students and staff. From the big jobs to the little things that often go unnoticed, their dedication makes a difference in our school community every day.

We are so grateful for everything you do to help make Shepherd a great place to learn, work, and grow!

Please join us in giving our custodial team a well-deserved THANK YOU!

We appreciate you more than you know!

🏀 What a game! 🏀

Today, Shepherd Middle School students took on the Ottawa Police Department in a friendly basketball showdown! The game was a nail-biter that went all the way into overtime, with OPD taking the win. 👏

But the real win was the time spent together! ❤️ We are so thankful to the Ottawa Police Department for joining us, having fun with our students, and helping build positive relationships between our school and our community.

Thank you, OPD, for showing up, playing hard, and making memories with our Rams!
