Ms. Smyre’s 2nd graders have been measuring up in a BIG way! 📏✨

Students worked incredibly hard during their measurement unit—exploring length, comparing objects, estimating, and using tools like rulers with confidence. Through hands-on activities and real-world problem solving, they’ve built strong skills and shown amazing perseverance... Way to "measure up", 2nd grade! 💙

Today we proudly celebrate School Resource Officer Day and recognize how grateful we are for Officer G! 💙🚔

Officer G is such a positive presence in our building. She builds strong relationships with our students and staff, brings calm and confidence to every situation, and works tirelessly to ensure our school remains a safe and welcoming place for all.

We are so thankful for her dedication, kindness, and commitment to our Shuford family. Thank you, Officer G, for all you do to protect, support, and uplift our school community! 💛🦉
