Shields Elementary

Mr. Jennings was so surprised to see what our friends had in store for him this St. Patrick's Day!

We're lucky to have Mr. Jennings!

Thank you for being you and for all you do for us at Shields.

Each month, Shields Elementary Student Leadership hosts an “Appreciation Station” to celebrate and recognize the hard work and dedication of our staff. This special treat is made possible through the generosity of our school community, as families and local businesses volunteer to sponsor the monthly cart for everyone to enjoy. It’s a small gesture that makes a big impact and helps our staff feel valued and supported.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Slumka and Kemerer families for sponsoring this month’s Appreciation Station. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated, and you help make Shields Elementary such a wonderful place to learn and grow!
