Dear SHES Families,

So far families have donated $4,288! Can you help us raise $15,712 more to reach our goal of $20,000? Then we’ll be able to fund teacher and school special requests. Here's a first-hand account of what your generosity makes possible:

“The PTO helped sponsor the hands-on and engaging third grade field trip to the Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium for the past few years. Students observed river otters, fresh & saltwater fish, and even touched stingrays. Due to rising costs and lack of transportation options, we could not do this trip without the PTO's generous support! For some students, it was their first time visiting another state. Thank you for this financial support, PTO!”
-3rd Grade Team

Visit shespto.org/donate to access online donation options. Checks (made out to SHES PTO) or cash donations may be delivered to the Main Office. Thank you for supporting our Shorewood Sharks!

With gratitude,
SHES PTO

It’s almost yearbook time! The Shorewood Hills PTO provides every student at SHES with a full-color yearbook, which costs $10 to print. They include school portraits, candid photos of school events, group activities, and class photos.

The PTO is able to sustain this annual initiative when families, who are willing and able, cover the cost of their student's yearbook.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated and ensure that we can continue to provide yearbooks to all students.

Donation forms will be going home in Friday Folders.
