Wednesday, February 1st is World Real Aloud Day and we celebrated with our entire community! Thank you to everyone who participated in the making of this video. We are lucky to have such an involved community to spread how fun reading aloud can be. What book are you going to read aloud on Wednesday?

Join us at Shepard Middle School on Wednesday, February 1, 2023, at 5 PM for a Police/Fire Vs. 8th Grade Basketball game! Tickets are $5 at the door and concessions will be available for purchase. All proceeds go to the 100 Club of Illinois. Come out and support this great cause and watch some basketball!

Our 4th and 5th graders did a great job during this year's spelling bee. Spelling in front of a crowd of all your friends can be intimidating, but our Wilmot Wolves handled the pressure!

Starting in 2023, we are happy to announce a partnership with Peachjar, a digital flyer service to connect our families with educational and community-building opportunities.

You will receive a weekly email from Peachjar on Wednesdays showcasing programs and events (both in school and from outside organizations) that may be of interest to you. All of the flyers will also be located on the district and school web pages.

To learn more about our approval and content guidelines, visit the Peachjar section on our website.
