2018 Shepherd Misson Gala
"Caring for Children Near& Far" the Auction was a great success and a fabulous evening. Thanks to all who actively participated in preparing for the Gala and to all that donated items for the auction. A special THANK YOU to all who generously participated in raising over $35,000. These funds are a great blessing. These funds will help our school implement new technology and support short term mission trips to Cambodia and Zimbabwe.
We are currently in the process of establishing an auction committee for 2019. Please contact Dave Stone, Lisa Jennings, Jim Mulford or Maynard Buck to share your interest. We are planning to have the auction committee in place by the end of June.

Did you know that individual piano lessons are offered at Shepherd during the school day AND throughout the SUMMER?!? Summer can be a great time for piano lessons! For information regarding summer lessons or school time lessons, contact [email protected] or pick up a brochure in the school office. New research is proving that there is no other activity that stimulates as much of the brain simultaneously as reading music! Take advantage of what piano lessons can do for your child academically, emotionally, artistically and creatively!

Jack's Corner
QUESTION:
My boys are always wrestling and rough-housing. I worry that they will become too violent. My husband says they are just "being boys." Who's right?
