Shepherd I.S.D. Spotlight

THANK YOU

SISD would like to thank every person and business that was able to donate a gift, money, gift cards, or a gift basket to go towards the SISD Staff Christmas Open House.
The staff at Shepherd ISD is very appreciative of the kindness and willingness this community has offered. Shepherd ISD hopes that we can continue to build a mutual understanding through which the school and the community link with each other for the achievement of goals of the community and school too.
When the school and the community work together to support learning, everyone benefits!

Again, we want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support, we cannot do this without you
