&Pizza Fundraiser for IB Programming

We are looking forward to another awesome family night! The fundraiser will be at &Pizza in Silver Spring (8455 Fenton St). We can earn up to 30% to go toward our school’s IB Programming. Use the code SHEPES. The code is good for the kiosk, online/app, or show this to your cashier.

We are also looking for a handful of volunteers to support the event. Please visit our Sign-up Genius if you can help. We hope you can join us!

The Teacher Appreciation Program

The Teacher Appreciation Program, or TAP, gives parents an opportunity to recognize a teacher at Shepherd for their great work and dedication. TAP invites parents to write a letter of appreciation recognizing a teacher who has been especially helpful or admirable in the classroom.

Once a month, a special teacher will be selected from the nominations to receive a Wishlist fund bonus. The recognition letters will also be shared with the selected teacher and school community.

TAP a teacher today by submitting a nomination here.
