🇺🇸 One of our favorite traditions is raising the flag on the first day of school and lowering the flag on the last day of school - together as a school community!
❤️ Thank you Ms. Persons and our student safeties for taking care of our flag and supporting our younger students to busses every day. You make our building a safer and better place to learn and grow. We appreciate you so much!
👀 We spy a Shawmut friend! Who also had the greatest quote: “If you focus on it, you can do it. You can make it.” We believe in you all! Thanks for an amazing year! ❤️ 🖤

Have you heard the latest Shawmut Hills buzz?
🐝 Mrs. Drier and our 6th grade scholars visited Black Queen Bee Honey to culminate their Michigan Native Bee study! They were educated on how honey bees function in their hives, how to process honey, and even tasted the yummy flavors. They were also able to identify the queen, the drones and the worker bees too! What an amazing experience! 🐝
