Here’s to celebrating where we’ve been, while looking forward to where we’re going!

📸 Exciting news for Shepherd Middle School!
A little more than a week ago, Ms. Ashley Young reached out to a retired educator and avid photographer Rebecca Fleck. Ashley shared with her that we’ve just launched a Photography Club here at SMS and that our students needed cameras to bring this dream to life.
Not only did she listen, but she and her daughter, Dr. Audrey Young (our SBOE representative), decided to go above and beyond for our students. Together, they gathered 15 Nikon digital cameras—complete with cases, batteries, chargers, SD cards, instructional videos, and even a tripod and monopod—and donated them to our school!
We am so thankful for their generosity and for believing in our students’ creativity. The Photography Club is officially ready to capture the world through their own lens, and we can’t wait to see what they create!

Our dancers aren’t just waiting for the next routine—they’re building the stamina to slay it. 🏃♀️💨 Today’s class swapped pirouettes for pulse-pounding endurance circuits: think cardio sprints, core burners, and resistance-band combos that keep our muscles firing long after the final eight-count.
Why? Because powerful performances start with powerful lungs and legs. 💪 When competition season hits, we want to float through fouettés without feeling the burn—and that strength begins NOW!
