We wrapped up our annual Fall Food Drive last week, and I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every family who donated. We were able to collect an incredible amount of food for our local food pantry. It is truly humbling to see the generosity of our community and the way you consistently show up to support those in need. Shelley families always rise to the occasion, and we’re grateful for you.

We'd like to give a shout out to our amazing Girls on the Run. They trained hard and ran a great race on Saturday at Sugar House Park! Way to go Girls!!
Thank you to Ms. Funn, Mrs. Jolley and Mrs. Brown for taking on this endeavor. They were great coaches and support to our Shelley Girls!

The annual tradition returns Wednesday, December 3rd. Drive through with your family as AFHS lights up with thousands of lights and donate what you can. Annually this event raises thousands of dollars to support local families for the holidays. You can also make donations at https://www.successfund.com/afhs
Hope to see you there

Welcome to Shelley Elementary’s Food Scavenger Hunt! We will be gathering items from November 10-18th. The goal for your student’s class is to collect as much non-perishable food as possible in the time allowed. Please do not feel pressured to donate. If you do have any donations, please gather them and tally the points from each section and return the items and the points paper to their teacher and they will take it from there. The class that ends up with the most points at the end of the donation period will receive an ICE CREAM PARTY!
