Shady Point School District

On Monday, May 15th, at 1:00 PM, Shady Point schools will dedicate their new Safe Room. We will have a small presentation and hope everyone can attend. Parents and other members of the public are invited to attend. This building would not be possible without their help in passing the school bond last spring. We appreciate their support and welcome them to campus to participate in the event. Unfortunately, we cannot open the building to the public yet. But we will open the building to the public later in the summer and have an open house in the fall when we return to school. On Monday, we will also be revealing to whom the building is dedicated and taking time to honor that individual as well. We appreciate the public’s support of the school and look forward to their attendance at the dedication.

We celebrate Teacher Appreciation week May 1st - 5th. Yes we know it was early. We could not wait. All week, they will enjoy this private area to get away and enjoy lunch, while their cafeteria duty is covered. Monday breakfast was provided. Tuesday was stress free day. Chocolate and a massage therapist was provided. Wednesday was Hump day and the teachers were treated to coffee from The Coffee Cup and Donuts. Thursday was May the 4th be with you. Drinks were provide by the Tolbert Family and Hold Funeral and Cremation, GINORMOUS Donuts by Jame and Mayr Sisco, and the district provided sonic drinks and Star Wars items including inflatable lightsabers. Friday was Cinco De Mayo and we celebrated teaches with a Buffet of Street tacos. THANK YOU to our Teachers and Staff! Your School Board and Administration are very thankful for all of your hard work and dedication to our Shady Point Warrior Families! You are very appreciated!

A big shout out and thanks to Dollar General store for taking time from their busy schedule getting their new location in Shady Point up and running. They stopped by school today and brought a box of new books to donate.

Many of our middle school students took time this week to read to the elementary classes. They took advantage of the warm weather and rich stories to them outside. Thanks for making an example that those young students won't soon forget.
