SHES Weekly Update
Sunday, October 24, 2021
Hello SHES Families!
I don't know about you, but I'm still in disbelief at the size, decorations, booths, kids laughing, and silent auction baskets at the Fall Festival. The Fall Festival was by far the BIGGEST and most successful Fall Festival to date, and it's all due to everyone's determination and volunteer hours put in behind the scenes. Shadow Hills PTA, teachers, families, and students are the best out there. At the end of the night, as I was dragging myself to my car, I was reflecting on the last few months of being principal of Shadow Hills, and I couldn't be prouder of being a part of such a dedicated team and welcoming community. Thank you for everything you do for our school and students. I appreciate you more than words can convey.
Please also remember to be hyper-aware of your surroundings during drop-off and pick-up. Please review the SHES Parking Lot Guidelines. Please do not double park on Harbison in front of the school. Everyone's safety is a top priority.

No weapons of any kind
No blood/gore
Costume must be school appropriate
No mask that covers the entire head and face
No costumes that promote the use of illegal substances or activities, or are derogatory, violent or disrespectful

A Message From Our PTA
On behalf of our entire PTA, we would like to extend our gratitude for making our 2021 Fall Festival the best one in our school’s history. The Fall Festival was a huge undertaking that could have never been possible without the help of all of our staff, student and community volunteers, sponsors, vendors, and most importantly, all of YOU. We appreciate the outpouring of support from everyone in every form, from candy to monetary donations and everything in between, and most importantly, your time and dedication. It was heartwarming to see the community come together with our campus for this event that has been missing for so long. We hope that you all enjoyed yourself. As the PTA, we look forward to the continuation of enriching our campus, students, and staff during the remainder of this year. All of the proceeds of this event will continue to make possible before, after, and in school activities, extra classroom needs for teachers, including but not limited to field trips and art docent programs, birthday table treats for each student, and campus beautification. We want to give a special THANK YOU to our administration, teachers, and staff of Shadow Hills for all of your time and hard work in making our vision a reality. We are truly fortunate to have all of you. We hope you made priceless memories, ate good food, and took lots of pictures. Please stay tuned for information on sharing your memories and photos in our 2021-2022 yearbook. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
