Ms. Mercedes' Message 11/10/23
Hello Shiloh ES families! I hope everyone had a fantastic week. At Shiloh ES this week, our students have engaged in International Night and our 1st annual Veteran's Day parade. In addition, students that earned a limo ride to Check-Fil-A via our Fundraiser in September took their trip. It was lovely to continue our focus on teaching and learning while providing a few fun and memorable events. Check out just a few pictures.
