Our kindergarteners explored the life cycle of a pumpkin with Miss Jessy! Students took their learning from the classroom to our school community garden, where they got to see pumpkins growing firsthand!
This hands-on experience is a wonderful example of how SHES continues to support the Maryland Green Schools Program through MAEOE, connecting classroom learning with outdoor environmental education.
Way to grow, little Eagles! 💚

A heartfelt thank-you to all the dads and special men who joined us this morning for Mornings with Men with our PreK 3–Kindergarten students! We are so grateful you took the time to be here, share a book, and make reading a special part of your child’s day!
Having positive male role models show up and support early literacy makes a lasting impact. Those moments spent reading together may seem small, but they help build confidence, strengthen connections, and lay the foundation for a lifelong love of reading.
A special thank-you to The Judy Center, Community Schools, and Title I for collaborating to make this morning possible!
At SHES, we know it takes a village, and we are thankful for the amazing people who show up for our youngest Eagles!
