Hello Shepard Families:

Warm Regards,
John1st Posting - Penny Madness Fundraiser for Parkland
In a collaborative effort, Shepard and Caruso Middle Schools will help the students of Stoneman Douglas High School, and their community of Parkland, rebuild and heal. During the month of March, we will collect pennies (dimes, quarters and dollars too!). In addition to Stoneman, our donations will support one selected Chicago area school in need. Donation jars are located in each homeroom and in the main office. Your generous support is very much appreciated.
Fundraiser dates: March 20-30.
