At Shelby Middle School, we LOVE our teachers! Their passion, commitment, and dedication to helping all students succeed is truly inspiring. Whether it’s staying late to offer extra help, creating engaging lessons, or finding ways to connect with every learner, our teachers go above and beyond every single day.
Last week, we took time to show our appreciation with some sweet treats and frozen yogurt for our amazing teachers and staff. Thank you for everything you do—you make a difference!
