Events & Announcements
Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week Continues Through May 8!

Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week has been a huge success! We have loved being able to celebrate the incredible Shepton staff members who work tirelessly for our students by providing meals, treats, and refreshments in the break room all week long.

Events like this wouldn't be possible without the generous support of our Shepton PTSA families and volunteers, including our Staff Appreciation Chair Edna Solano.

Want to continue celebrating our Shepton staff members? Consider sending a quick email or note to your students' teachers to thank them for their hard work this year.

Thank you to everyone who participated this week to help us show our Shepton teachers and staff members that they are really the "Best in the West"!
