🐻🧶 At SHMS, we don’t just teach—we learn together! For the first time ever, our staff has started a crochet club, the Grizzly Yarn Gurus, and we are officially hooked! 🪡✨
Huge shout out to the real MVP, Ms. Erica Nelson, who is leading the way and keeping us from tying ourselves in knots! 😂 Her patience, skill, and encouragement have us stitching our way to success.
It’s been a great way to unwind, learn something new, and spend time with coworkers outside the usual school routine. The best part? We’re proving that SHMS isn’t just a workplace—it’s a community where we support each other, grow together, and have fun while we’re at it.
Stay tuned for our progress—if all goes well, we might just have beach bags and summer accessories ready in time for vacation! ☀️🏖️
