Dear Parents and Guardians
I would like to congratulate the 5th and 6th grade students on their excellent effort and performance during this year's first band concert. They had a great dress rehearsal performance last week and they had an even better performance during the actual concert this week!
Great job to the entire band department for working so hard to prepare our students! They are simply remarkable at what they do!
D. Young, Principal
Always believe!!

Donate Today to Help Local Children and Teens Experiencing Homelessness
On January 21, MLK Day of Service, Shaker Heights School students, families, and staff will gather together to help youth experiencing homelessness and home insecurity in our community.
We will make sleeping mats and fleece scarves to be distributed by Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless and we will assemble over 800 teen survival kits for Bellefaire JCB and MetroHealth Foster Care Team.
What is a teen survival kit? It is a gallon Ziploc bag with a small water bottle, granola bars, raisins, bandaids, thick socks, rain poncho, lip balm, antibacterial wet wipes, gloves, and a personal card. We will also be making fleece blankets for children who enter the Bellefaire JCB homeless and missing youth program.
We need your help!
Please donate today. Every $5 helps. To donate, go to
PayForIt,
select "Fundraisers" and scroll down to MLK Day of Service. Choose your amount. You can also contribute using PayPal
https://www.paypal.me/SHPTO
. We will be collecting donations through January 14. Thank you!
