Shabazz Community,
Can you even believe we are in June?
Let's give it up for our amazing Shabazz Seniors. We are so very proud of everything they have accomplished and excited to see what is next for them all.
As we round out another school year, I just want to take an opportunity to say thank you to all of the families for partnering with us during the school year. Throughout this year, we have had the fantastic opportunities to talk with many of you, work through situations, problem-solve issues, and overall develop some great partnerships. We cannot thank you enough for your continued support and championing for your young people. They are all extremely special.
We want to make sure we finish strong so please work with your students to attend, and if need be, attend the Shabazz Student Support Days On Friday, June 3, and Monday, June 6.
As you are all aware, the school officially ends for most staff on Friday, June 10. If you need anything over the summer, Hannah and I will continue to just be a call or email away. Always feel free to reach out.
I do wish all of you and very happy, healthy, and safe summer. Stay cool, enjoy the temperatures, and, once again, thank you for everything.
Mary Jankovich

Time to Drop-Off Materials and (Senior) Chromebooks
Now is the time for students to start gathering up course materials (books, textbooks, library books, locks, etc) from this school year and return them to Shabazz. Please make sure your students bring any class materials to their teachers before the last day of school. Students who are graduating or leaving MMSD also need to return their Chromebooks.
Graduating students (and those leaving MMSD) should return their Chromebooks to Hannah in the Shabazz main office during the school day on one of these dates: 6/1, 6/2, 6/3, or 6/6. If a Chromebook is not returned, a fine of $150 for the Chromebook and $35 for the charger will be applied in Infinite Campus.

CONGRATULATIONS AND FAREWELL TO COLLEEN KELLOGG |
|
The end of the school year is such a bittersweet time for us all. Final grades have been recorded. Students have walked the stage at graduation and are off on their new journey. Teachers have packed up their classrooms for the summer. And, sometimes we also need to say good-bye to our colleagues who are moving to new locations and journeys beyond Shabazz.
This year, we bid fare-thee-well to Colleen Kellogg, Shabazz Theatre and English teacher since 1991. After more than three decades of tireless teaching, directing, mentoring, and leadership, Colleen is retiring. Simple words cannot express the gratitude we each hold for the immense amount of professionalism, content expertise, wisdom, humor, and creativity Colleen has shared with us. Colleen, you will be dearly missed.
Thank you for sharing so much of yourself over the years. May your new journey take you happily in all directions you choose to travel.

CRAWFORD'S CELEBRATION OF LIFE |
|
Last month, Shabazz students and staff lost a special community member. Crawford, our beloved therapy dog, passed away at home, after living a long and happy life. He was a member of the Shabazz community for nine years and was always happy to bring smiles and comfort to our students and staff when needed.
Shabazz honored Crawford at a Celebration of Life last month. After Principal Mary Jankovich said a few words students celebrated with a (biodegradable) balloon release and cake for all. A week later, some of Crawford's ashes were distributed to a diverse set of trees that will build our school forest. Crawford will live on at Shabazz.
Crawford was a gentle soul and will live in our hearts for a long time to come. FYI we have Crawford hoodies on our Merchandise page.
