Last call to join us if you'd like to learn about Worcester's implementation of the Blueprint for Maryland's Future. Tonight's regional information session at Snow Hill High School (5:30 p.m. at Snow Hill High School) will be the last opportunity to provide in-person feedback before the 2024 plan is finalized.
With spring around the corner, WCPS is releasing its updated current school year calendar that reflects an updated last day of school, given the single inclement weather closure this year. Please note, June 14 and 17 still appear as potential make-up days, but are unlikely to be used.
SHES is very fortunate to welcome Debra Passalacqua, as an artist in resident!
Ms. Passalacqua is a retired Worcester County Art Teacher and a nationally acclaimed artist. She will be sharing her passion to ALL SHES students during their regularly scheduled art class time.
Her creative emphasis for the week and title for her residency is Up-cycling! The Art of Creative Material Reuse for Children. PK3 through 3rd grade students will learn to reuse existing materials, therefore avoiding waste, to create art. Both organic and inorganic materials will be used for creating art along with new materials to facilitate the objective.
Save the Date! We will celebrate our love for school libraries and favorite book characters with Dress Like a Book Character Day on Thursday, April 4th! Over 180 new library books funded by the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore featuring some of our favorite characters will be available in the school library on this day. We will honor our favorite book characters with activities during library classes. We can't wait to celebrate reading with the SHES community!
