💼 This week in Ms. Frakes’ class, students learned how to give a proper handshake and introduce themselves like a pro. They even came up with their own interview questions and put their skills to the test in mock interviews. Safe to say, we’ve got some future CEOs in the making! 👏🤝

🐻💡 Back-to-school brainpower is in full swing! Coach Shepherd’s 6th grade Bear Success class put their creativity to the test this week. Each student got a sticky note and wrote down any 4 letters of the alphabet. Then, they teamed up and used their letters to make as many words as they could in just 20 minutes.
One group crushed it with 42 words! 👏 What a fun way to kick off the year with teamwork, creativity, and some serious brainpower! 🧠✨ #BearPride #BackToSchool #WordMasters

What a great first day at SHMS! 🐻💙 Our students came in smiling, ready to learn, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year.
A huge shoutout to our amazing bus drivers who safely get our Bears to and from school every single day—you truly go the extra mile for our kids! 🚍💛 This morning, some of our students greeted them with big smiles, handmade signs, and sweet treats as a small way to say thank you for all you do.
Here’s to an awesome year ahead—let’s keep the positive vibes rolling! 🙌
