Come one, come all.  Join us for Shepherd’s 26th annual Jazz Night and Potluck Dinner.  Everyone is invited to this family-friendly event; where Shepherd students are introduced to jazz music in the comfort of their school surroundings and everyone can enjoy food, entertainment, and good company.

The event is free, but each family is asked to bring something to the potluck dinner.  Please confirm your participation by signing up online.  (This link will take you away from the Shepherd website, to the Sign Up Genius page.)  If you’re not able to sign up online or have any questions, please e-mail us at info@shepherd-elementary.org.  For additional information, please see our event flyer.

The NW Saturday Academy is a new math, computer science and robotics program for DC youth and we are happy to announce that it will be hosted at our own Shepherd Elementary School beginning in February. Third, fourth and fifth grade students will learn computer coding by creating alterations, or “mods”, for the popular game Minecraft, boost their math acumen through study in a blended learning model class and get an introduction to the creativity and fun of engineering by building Lego robots. For more information about the program, please visit us at www.nwsadc.com.
