Elementary News
Blue Ribbon Children's Festival




5th/6th grade class had an awesome time at the
Blue Ribbon Children's Festival at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Downtown LA. They experienced a live professional performance by two incredible companies, Black Violin and Renny Harris RHAW. Afterwards, they gathered together with 3,200 other students to perform a short choreographed dance inspired by the production.

Field Trip to McDonald's
The 2nd graders went on a field trip to McDonald's last week to practice what they've been learning about money.  
 
Congratulations SOV Saints for the WIN!





Awesome job to our athletes for the win against Valley Presbyterian! The team played together very well, and each one of them had great moments during the game. The cheerleaders showed great school spirit!  Go Saints!

 See's Candies
See_s Candies
We are excited to begin our Easter See's Candies fundraiser! The proceeds will help pay for the 5th/6th grade trip to El Camino Pines in May for Outdoor School. Information will be going home tomorrow.

Please help us reach our goal by taking orders from friends, neighbors and co-workers. See's is easy to sell because people love the candy. 
School Family Referrals

As you may have heard, Pinecrest Schools will be closing all five of their campuses at the end of this school year. Do you know any families that attend Pinecrest Schools?

At Shepherd, we know that the best way to spread the word about our school is through the recommendations of our parents to family, friends, and neighbors. Please share your SOV experience with others, especially any Pinecrest families that could benefit from being part of the Shepherd family.

Shepherd is pleased to accept referrals at any time. With our open enrollment policy, students can be admitted throughout the school year.

If you know of any families looking for options for their children, please let us know. Thank you in advance.
