🐾 Shaw Shares: Giving Back to Our Furry Friends! 🐾
On December 9th, parents and students at Shaw Elementary came together for a heartwarming volunteer event hosted by Shaw Shares. Volunteers worked after school to create knotted fleece blankets and chew toys for animals at the Greene County Animal Control Shelter. 🐶🐱
This amazing effort will help keep the animals warm and comfortable during the colder months. Thank you to everyone who participated—you truly made a difference! 🧡🖤

The Shaw Holiday fair will take place Saturday, November 16th, 2024 from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm. Join us for a fun day of holiday shopping!
🎃🍬 Mr. Shaw’s third graders dove into some Halloween-themed science fun this past week! In a candy corn science lab, students grouped up to drop candy corn into different liquids—water, canola oil, vinegar, and soda—and observed what would happen.
Each group dropped their candy corn pieces at the same time and timed the experiment. As they watched closely, they recorded their observations with both words and pictures. By the end, they discovered that candy corn dissolved in water, soda, and vinegar but stayed intact in canola oil! 🧪🍂
This hands-on experiment was a perfect blend of science and seasonal spirit. Way to go, scientists! #atShawWithShaw

We look forward to honoring you in our drive-thru parade. Please put a sign on your front windshield that says what branch you serve(d) in and the student you are related to (if you have someone at Shaw). Also, if you would like to share a picture of yourself in uniform that we could show the students, please email it to susan.peveler@gocreek.org. THANK YOU for your service!
Skills Lab Family Time project will be completed in your student's skills lab class during the months of November and December. This project aligns with our digital safety lessons of reducing eye strain and limiting screen time as well as our district initiative of One District, One Mission, One Creek. Students will gather photos showing how they spend their time away from technology. Photos of the final projects will be added into a district-wide slide show that will be shared with the school community.
We can't wait to see the final projects!
