From our teachers and interventionists to custodians, cafeteria staff, office staff, nurses, and support teams, every member of our staff plays an important role in helping our learners grow and succeed.
Our Bridgerton-inspired Royal Court was a fun and meaningful way to honor the dedication, compassion, and hard work that make SHELC such a special place. Thank you to our amazing staff for always going above and beyond for our learners and school community. ✨

Our PreK learners in Ms. Smith’s class had an amazing time getting their hands dirty and planting! 🪴💚 From filling pots with soil to carefully planting seeds, our learners are building responsibility, curiosity, and a love for learning through hands-on experiences.
Moments like these help our youngest learners connect to nature while developing important skills that will continue to grow—just like their plants! 🌿✨
We can’t wait to see what blooms next! 🌸
