Shell Rock Elementary School

Ms. S's kindergarten class is excited to welcome three special visitors to the classroom for the next few weeks—monarch butterfly caterpillars! 🐛🦋 Students will be observing their life cycle up close as they transform. A big thank-you goes out to Mrs. Sanderman, a former science teacher in our district, for donating them to our class! 💛

Extended Learning Program (ELP) students kicked off the year in a cross-grade thinking skills experience! Some first through fourth graders participated in a challenge by using a Questioneer Story about finding the power of their voice through art. Then they used their imagination and illustrated their own reflective stories.

We are incredibly grateful for our amazing secretary, Megan! She’s the warm, welcoming face that greets you at the front door and the kind, helpful voice you hear when calling the school. Whether it’s offering a helping hand, solving a problem, or keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, she does it all with grace and a smile. Her calm and steady presence is truly essential in the day-to-day flow of our busy school. Thank you, Megan, for everything you do!

THE VOTES ARE IN! The winning school wide incentives, voted on by students during our coin drive, are...Extra recess, ice cream sundaes, and the BIG WINNER...teacher swap! Students also met and exceeded our schoolwide goal of $500, so we will have a special assembly on Friday, March 14th, where one lucky student will get to pie the principal! Over the next several weeks, all students will get to participate in these fun incentive days! Thank you to all of our wonderful students and families for helping us reach our goal, and we look forward to having some fun with these great incentives!
