HAPPY THANKSGIVING! We are grateful for our students and parents. Thank you for all that you do to support our school. There is no school Nov. 21-25. Please enjoy your Thanksgiving break. |
GRANDPARENTS' DAY THANK YOU Thank you to all of the grandparents and special friends who made Grandparents' Day so special and meaningful for our students. Our students, teachers and staff were so excited to show off their school. Grandparents enjoyed a presentation with 178 student performers, including performances from the Upper School Band, Upper Elementary Music, Middle School Cheerleaders, Eighth Grade Musical Theatre Cast, Varsity Cheerleaders, 4th-12 Grade Combined Choirs, Chargerettes and Drumline. More than $32,000 in raffle tickets for a free tuition were sold. Fun fact: How much coffee does it take to fuel our grandparents? About 75 gallons! Senior Sydney Carter was the student speaker on Thursday. She thanked her parents as well as her grandparents — Opa, Oma and Mimi — for playing such a supportive role in my life."Shelton has helped me grow as a student, athlete and person," she said. "Shelton has helped me realize that I have learning challenges, but I am not defined by them." Sydney has been accepted to the University of Arizona, University of Arkansas, University of Kansas, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University and Texas Tech, and she's received a scholarship to each school. Senior John Bulmer was the student speaker on Friday. "The aspect that I believe has helped me to succeed to the level I have today is the personal relationships I have built with my teachers as well as the confidence they have in me," he said. He has been accepted to Texas A&M, where he plans on majoring in Rangeland, Wildlife and Fisheries Management with an emphasis on aquaculture and fisheries. |
