Principal's Message

Hello Bulldogs!

We had another wonderful week here at The Shire! The first round of state testing will be happening soon so keep an eye out for more information from your child’s teacher about that. Make sure to wear your favorite college colors on Friday, August 29 for National College Colors Day (black and gold is the only correct answer 🙂Go Knights!). When planning ahead, don’t forget that Monday, September 1 is Labor Day so school will be closed. Hope you had a restful weekend and are ready for another fabulous week!
Love,

Mrs. Bethany Ledesma
Principal, Brookshire Elementary
