One School, One Blog
February 12, 2016
Welcome to One School, One Blog from Shepard Middle School! The purpose of this blog is simple; we want to give all members of our school community an opportunity to share learning and celebrations associated with education and our school.
As blogging has become more popular in our school, you may have noticed that a variety of teachers and students have started their own blogs. While many of these folks will choose to continue to maintain their own blog, we’ve invited them to repost blogs they feel would be of benefit for the entire Shepard community here. In short, we want to create a “one stop shop” for those of you not interested in following multiple blogs. In the coming days and weeks, expect to see posts from staff and students pop up on this blog. I will also cease to make principal blog posts at my old blog, and I’ll blog here exclusively.
One more thing: since this blog is about community, we invite all of YOU to join us in this effort! If you have interest in writing a post, we welcome it! Just send me an email and I’ll be happy to work with you on getting your submission posted.
Happy blogging!
John
