Our 2025-206 LSAT & PTO Members

Shepherd Community,

Thank you so much for participating in the election for the new leaders of the Shepherd Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and the Local School Advisory Team (LSAT). We are excited to have each position filled and to be in such a strong position leading into the 2025-2026 school year. 

A special thank you to Michelle Toussaint, our Nominations Chair who shepherded this process. 

If you see these community members today, please congratulate them and let them know how much we appreciate their engagement!

Shepherd Gear Sale Tomorrow

Looking for some Mustang gear? Tomorrow from 7:45 AM - 8:45 AM, the PTO will table in front of the school with brand new merch for your students. Older gear will be on sale as well! See you there tomorrow!

Last Chance to Nominate

A heartfelt thank you to all the Shepherd families who joined us at Cunningham Falls this past weekend! Together, we created unforgettable memories—hiking scenic trails, enjoying the beach, riding bikes and scooters, making s'mores, and connecting with one another. A special shout-out to KC Hauge for coordinating this year's event; your efforts made this gathering truly special for everyone involved!

We're excited to announce that we're already planning to recreate the wonderful experience at Cunningham Falls State Park next year! While the Elderberry Loop is fully booked for May 15–17, 2026, many sites are still available in the adjacent Deer Spring Loop. To reserve your spot, visit the Maryland Parks reservation website, select May 15-17, 2026, and filter by the "Western" region to find Deer Spring Loop sites. Don't wait—campsites can fill up quickly, so it's best to book early to secure your family's spot for this unforgettable weekend.

Thank you To Our 180 Families! 72 Families and Counting....
