    Welcome to the 2022- 2023 School Year

    May 2023

    It is hard to believe this is our last month of this school year. What a year it has been!!!

     A special thank you to all of you for our fundraising efforts this school year, and to all of our amazing volunteers. Our PTO, this semester alone, has provided snacks and drinks for our Lightening Lexia and Reading 180 celebration for our students. We provided refreshments for the Rising Students on parents’ night, as well as the Principal Coffee and Questions meet and greet. We are happy to say we provided ninety $50 Teacher Grants this school year. We brightened students’ Valentine’s Day with Wolf Grams. We provided a charter bus to Ford’s Theatre for a field trip. And each and every month we host a Staff Appreciation breakfast and a snack cart for our amazing staff of Shirley Heim Middle School! None of this would be possible without your support and so we thank you.

     

    Thank you to our 2022-2023 PTO Executive Board and Committee Leaders.  We are so thankful for your time and commitment to our school this year.  A special word of thanks to Melynda Moran, our hardworking PTO President who made it all possible!

     

    Congratulations to our Boys and Girls Track team and Girls Softball teams for their hard work and success this spring. We have loved cheering you on.
