💛💙 SHMS MINION DAY FUN! 💛💙
Our Bears showed up today looking bright, silly, and totally ready for Fall Break! From yellow hoodies to goggles and everything in between, our halls were full of laughs and the best Minion energy.
We loved seeing our kids have a little fun before we all head into a well-earned break. They worked hard this quarter, and today was the perfect way to wrap it up.
Enjoy your Fall Break, Bears! Rest up, have fun, and we’ll see you back refreshed and ready to finish strong. 💙🐻💛

👕 AVID Wednesday Spotlight: College Campus Visits! 🎓
This week, we are recognizing AVID scholars who are stepping beyond the classroom and onto real university campuses — experiencing college life firsthand.
These visits give our students a glimpse of what their futures can look like. They can learn about majors, scholarships, and campus traditions, and leave inspired to keep working toward their goals.
Don’t forget to show your support for college and career readiness across PCSSD by wearing an AVID shirt and sharing your past or preparing for your future. #PCSSDproud #AVID #ServeAll

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Veterans 🇺🇸
Veterans Day is Tuesday, but our AVID students couldn't wait to show their appreciation. Today, they spent time at the Veterans Cemetery in Sherwood placing flags at each gravesite in honor of those who served our country.
We’re so proud of their kindness, respect, and community spirit. 💙 Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve.

👕 Tomorrow is AVID Wednesday! 📣
This week, we’re spotlighting Mrs. Stephanie DeWitt’s kindergarten class at William Jefferson Clinton Elementary. Students recently completed an AVID jigsaw activity on story elements. Each group became “experts” on characters, setting, beginning, middle, or end, and then taught their classmates what they learned.
“It’s been wonderful watching them collaborate, think critically, and deepen their understanding of how stories work! Way to go, scholars,” Mrs. DeWitt shared.
Don’t forget to wear your AVID shirts tomorrow, celebrate student success, and keep building those college and career ready skills!

Our SHMS FBLA Bears absolutely crushed it at the 2025 Fall Conference! 💼💙🐻
They showed up with pride, energy, and leadership — hearing from an incredible motivational speaker, inducting their new officers, and welcoming our newest members into the FBLA family. A huge round of applause for our president, Turner Choat, who took the stage to represent SHMS like a pro! 👏🔥
We couldn’t be prouder of this group of future leaders — they continue to make SHMS shine! And yes… the Aflac duck even stopped by to join the fun! 🦆😂

We couldn’t let Principal Appreciation Month go by without showing some love to the one and only Mr. Hudgeons!
Every single day, he leads SHMS with heart, vision, and a whole lot of energy. He’s everywhere—greeting kids in the halls, supporting teachers, cheering on our Bears, and reminding us all what it means to put students first.
Mr. Hudgeons is the kind of leader who listens, encourages, and shows up. His dedication, kindness, and passion for our school community make SHMS a place we’re proud to call home.
Thank you, Mr. Hudgeons, for setting the bar high and believing in every Bear—students and staff alike. You make a difference every single day, and we’re so lucky to have you leading the way! 💙🐻💪
