From the Grinch crashing the annual XHS Jazz Winter Concert to their outstanding holiday decor, Shawnee Elementary was dialed in for the week heading into Winter Break! Enjoy these looks into the week at Shawnee Elementary: 

 

Grinch-mas 2025

The Grinch has struck again! This year, Turkey P wasn’t happy that students’ attention was drifting away from Thanksgiving, so he teamed up with an unlikely ally—the Grinch himself. Together, they created chaos during the XHS Jazz Band concert, even managing to break the Grinch out of “jail” to stir up trouble. Fortunately, our Shawnee teachers and staff were ready. Armed with snowballs, they fought back just long enough for Officer Walsh to step in and apprehend both the Grinch and Turkey P.

Another year, another unforgettable assembly—and once again, good triumphed over holiday mischief!

Shawnee Winter Wonderland 2025

Our Shawnee Elementary staff truly outdid themselves this year with their festive winter hallway decorations! This fun annual tradition quickly turned into a friendly competition between first- and second-floor classrooms as they worked to outshine one another.

The first floor brought the pages of "Snowmen at Night" by Carolyn Buehner to life, while the second floor wowed everyone with a magical  Winter Wonderland. The teachers may have gotten a *little* competitive, but in the end, the real winners were all the students, families, and staff who enjoyed the creativity and holiday spirit filling our halls this week!
