Family Newsletter Feb. 2025 IMPACTing Each & Every Student!

Ms. Mercedes Message January 2025
Thank you to our amazing Kindergarten team for bringing the number 100 to life. Check out a few pictures from our 100th day of school!
Today, we had our perfect attendance celebration for semester one. We celebrated 65 children and their families whose students attended school every day and ON TIME during semester one. Research shows that students who have great attendance and are at school on time (no tardies) typically make MORE than a year of academic growth. We are in the business of educating our students and providing a great elementary experience that builds the whole child. Thank you to the parents who get our kids here on time. Let’s work to celebrate more children and families the next time!
Finally, last night GCPS held their annual Teacher of the Year Banquet. Here we celebrate and recognize Shiloh ES’s teacher of the year, Ms. Anamarie Shatto. Her dedication to our students and committee to supporting professional development is phenomenal. Congratulations, Ms. Shatto!
Have a great Weekend!
