Hold your loved ones close—life can change in a moment. I am heartbroken for Monica, Mark, Lily, and Josh. Please pray for them as they mourn this unthinkable loss. Julia was a light for all of those around her and will be greatly missed.

Please help us spread the word! We would love for all of the graduating Shady Grove alum to come on June 13 for our Senior Walk! Arrive at 12:45pm with your cap, gown, and driver’s license. We’ll get everyone checked in and begin the walk at 1:00pm. Can’t wait to see you there!

This week begins National School Counseling Week. We are blessed at Shady Grove with two amazing school counselors, Mrs. Shala and Ms. Askins. We are so grateful for their service to our community! #makingadifference #sges #BetterTogether

Our Cardinals participated in a Tacky LAMP Tour this week! Mr. Corbin, Mrs. Blouch, Mrs. Berlin and Mrs. Coleman collaborated to give students three experiences: Reader’s Theater, a viewing of The Snowman, and Jingle Bell Jam. Thank you to our LAMP team. Everyone enjoyed it!

A big thank you to the PTA for the wonderful “cookie bar” today. The staff enjoyed filling their boxes with delicious goodies! AND we had a fun raffle to give away the 11 gift cards and 2 poinsettias donated. We really appreciate your generosity. #BetterTogether

On Friday, we had another fantastic pep rally! The school and squad spirit was out of this world, and our SRO, Officer Duke, was sorted into Mitra. What a great way to end our week! #BetterTogether #6squads1school

We owe a HUGE thank you to Total Asphalt for filling the cracks and sealing our blacktop at no cost to us! The generous owner, a former SGES parent, saw the condition of the blacktop and offered this amazing gift to us. We are so grateful and know our Cardinals will enjoy it!

Just wrapped up one of my favorite weeks of the year. I love the planning and creativity involved in celebrating teachers! I am lucky enough to have a front row seat to watch their greatness every day! #teacherappreciationweek #blessed

Buddy and I would like to wish you a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

In an effort to see all of our Cardinal families in “one place”, we are creating a wall to display family pictures. We would love for you to submit a picture to add to our "nest". Please use this link to submit your picture by February 15: tinyurl.com/CardinalFamily

Happy Chinese New Year!

Even though schools are closed tomorrow, we will still hold our Principal’s Coffee Chat on Monday at 8:30am. Link to join below. The presentation will be recorded for this that cannot attend.

We are getting ready for our Cardinals! #CardinalStrong

Due to the snow day tomorrow, we have alternate plans for our virtual open house and packet pick-up (for in-person students). Check your email for details!

Who has the best staff in town? Who has the best PTA in town? You guessed it—Shady Grove. We were so excited to welcome back our staff on Tuesday. And our amazing PTA provided lunch from Potbelly’s. It was a great day! ❤️ #CardinalStrong

5, 4, 3, 2, 1....Happy New Year! instagram.com/p/CLdqOyUFra8/…

Yes this!!

This week we are celebrating our school counselors, Ms. Askins and Mrs. Shala. They go above and beyond to help our students meet their potential. They help us keep social-emotional health at the forefront of our conversations. We are so grateful they are a part of our team!

My staff covered my door with affirming messages! They are the best! #SGES #CardinalStrong

Best staff ever. They spoiled me rotten this week. ❤️ them all!!
