Smoke Signals: Family Edition
May 21-25
Thank you for a great school year!
It has been another amazing year at Shackelford Elementary! Our school community is passionate about providing the best possible environment for learning and makes Shackelford Elementary a truly special place. A place where we can shine, become grounded in who we are, and will always remember, as where we started.
Special thanks to all who have contributed in ways small, large, and unimaginable! Copying for teachers, volunteering in classrooms, chaperoning field trips, helping with school pictures, organizing luncheons for teachers, organizing events for students, working at these events, showing up to support your children, serving on committees, sharing your talents...supporting our work in countless ways and providing the resources to do what we dream and know is good for children. We are blessed with a community who see how very special Shackelford Elementary and Waxahachie ISD truly are, and we thank you.
To those of your who are leaving us for new places and adventures, we wish you all the best. Congratulations to our wonderful 5th graders who are onto a new stage in their lives! Remember, you will always be a Shackelford Brave! Come back and check in with us...you are part of our history.
Your proud principal,
Mrs. Burkhalter
