SHADY GROVE MATTERS WEEKLY UPDATE
June 2, 2024
THE ADMINISTRATOR'S CORNER
Greetings. Shady Grove families! We are headed into the final stretch of the school year. The production of High School Musical was incredible! A particular thanks goes out the the amazing students, Ms. Rafanelli and Ms. Rahmati who poured their heart and souls into this stellar musical. I would also like to thank Ms. Belyea-Doerrman and Ms. Rowell for building our Invent the Future program. Today, Shady Grove did an excellent job in the Invent the Future competition. We are so proud of our student teams who participated in this important program.
In homeroom this week, sixth and seventh grade students will be exploring CTE Career Day options. Eighth Grade students will be exploring aspects of high school life. Eighth grade students will be turning in their Chromebooks on Thursday, June 6. During 8th grade lunch on June 6, Magruder High School Athletics will be conducting an information session. If your 8th grader is interested in Athletics this is a perfect time to learn more about Magruder’s sports program. The 6th/7th grade awards ceremony will be held on June 7. All grade levels will be doing a PE locker cleanout on Friday, June 7.That is all for now #TimberwolfNation! Wishing you all a fantastic week!
