Opportunity to Review Science Textbooks
In the months of January and February, we invite stakeholders to participate in the review of textbooks that are being considered for adoption for a number of science courses. Digital access to resources is provided for families and community members who would like to review the options. Please access the textbook adoption website for resource access and information on how to submit your input for consideration. We also invite you to attend the Science Vendor Night on February 4th from 5-7:30 p.m. To RSVP to attend, click here.
🎉 Bingo Night Was a Roaring Success! 🦁
Last month’s Shady Hills Bingo Night was a fantastic evening filled with fun, laughter, and a little friendly competition! Families, students, and staff came together for an unforgettable night of prizes, excitement, and school spirit. The turnout was incredible, and the energy in the room was contagious as numbers were called and winners cheered.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, and helped make this event such a hit. We love seeing our Shady Hills Lions come together as a community, and we can’t wait for more exciting events ahead!
Stay tuned for what’s coming next—you won’t want to miss it! 🎉🔢🦁
