Here is the link to the October 14th edition of the Shaw Tiger Tribune! https://www.smore.com/7shtq

Book Fair is next week! We are using a new company and should have new selections for our students! Students will be attending during their library time. Wednesday evening we will have the book fair open after school until 7:00pm. Are you able to help us by volunteering? We still need help to ensure all kids get to shop! Please sign up at: https://www.signupgenius. com/go/70a0845a8a82da5ff2-shaw3 Would you like to order gift cards online for your child or their teacher to use at the book fair? You can purchase at efairs.literati.com and choose your school, "Shaw Elementary School, Beavercreek, OH." You can gift the card to your child and avoid needing to send cash next week, or you can gift a card to your child's teacher to help them add books to their classroom libraries.

Shaw students and staff collected care packages to send to deployed service members to recognize The National Day of the Deployed.

Annual Shaw Tiger Run!!!! Register your student NOW for this year's Tiger Run! This is our biggest fundraiser every year and the students have a blast too!! Rather than having students participate in a sales-oriented fundraiser, we create an event where they are working together as a class for class goal rewards and then running at a fun event at the end of two weeks. This is the last week to get pledges for it since we run the Tiger Run on Friday so please share it with your friends and family. Over the past seven years, we have upgraded most of the playground equipment through our fun run fundraisers. We have one piece left to replace (it's the faded pink one) and with your help, we can do it! Everyone is welcome to come and watch their child(ren) run on Friday. We ask that you go straight around to the field behind the school, rather than through the school, as are taking turns running, so some grade levels are still in class while others are running. Parking is limited and many people find it easier to park on the street near the field or in our SIDE parent loop. Every student will get a T-shirt the morning of the Tiger Run, where we will mark the laps on the back of the shirt that they complete during the run. They love wearing it throughout the year as a fun way to show off their Tiger Pride and participation in the Tiger Run!

The Shaw staff is ready for lots of learning and fun at Shaw this year! Can't wait to see you all next week for the first days of school! A-L on Monday and M-Z on Tuesday.

New Student Orientation is on August 10th at 9:00am beginning in the gym. Open house for all families: August 11th: 4-4:45 for A-L and 5-5:45 for M-Z. Parking in the front and back of the school.

It's Red Ribbon Week! This year’s theme is a reminder that each and every person can commit to a healthy, drug-free lifestyle and make significant contributions to achieving a drug-free community. #RedRibbonWeek #BcreekSchools
