Don't miss out! We have just a few Shepton Wolves hoodies left for just $28 in three classic colors! Parents will love these hoodies because they'll keep their students warm during the winter, and students will love them too because, let's be honest, high school students love wearing hoodies no matter the season! 

Order your hoodie in the color of your choice HERE today! 

Special thanks to our Shepton PTSA student members who voted for their favorite hoodie design among four options. This design was our overwhelming winner, earning over 53% of the student vote!

Thanks to generous PTSA member contributions, we were able to stock the Shepton Staff Lounge on Valentine's Day with plenty of snacks and drinks to help keep our teachers happy and energized! 

A special thank you goes to our wonderful volunteers for collecting the snacks and organizing them in the lounge. We appreciate your help!

Thank you, PTSA members, for your continued support!

The Shepton PTSA showed our students lots of ❤️love❤️ this Valentine’s Day! 

We were excited to recognize and reward students who were nominated by their Advisory teachers with donuts for consistently exhibiting great behavior expected of all Shepton Wolves--kindness, honesty, respect, responsibility, and timeliness. 

We hope these students enjoyed their sweet treat, and that all Shepton Wolves 🍩DONUT🍩 underestimate the power of good behavior!
