Sylvan Hills Middle School

Today we’re giving a BIG SHOUTOUT to the heartbeat of SHMS — our amazing Administrative Professionals! They keep us running smoothly, smiling daily, and somehow manage to juggle all the things with grace, patience, and a whole lot of skill. Whether it’s handling calls, calming chaos, or making sure everything behind the scenes is handled like magic, we couldn’t do it without them! Thank you for being the glue that holds us together and the calm in the storm — you are truly appreciated more than words can say! Let’s hear it for our SHMS superstars today! 💙🐻 #AdminProsDay #SHMSBears #ThankYou #SchoolMagicMakers

🍌💛 SHMS Love Alert! 💛🍌 Ms. Moore did it again! Our amazing assistant principal knows the way to a teacher’s heart — and this time, it was with her famous homemade banana pudding! 😍 Let’s just say... spirits were high, spoons were flying, and not a crumb was left behind! 🙌✨ We are beyond lucky to have a leader who not only talks the talk but also bakes the bake 🥄💛 Ms. Moore, your kindness, thoughtfulness, and DELICIOUSNESS never go unnoticed. Thank you for always showing your staff how much you care — one sweet bite at a time! #BananaPuddingBoss #SHMSLove #SweetestAP #WeLoveMsMoore #ThankfulAndFull #SHMSBears

A HUGE THANK YOU to our SHMS Parent Involvement Team, Jeffery Cole, and the amazing folks at Loyal Lawn for making this possible! 🙌🌳 It’s heartwarming to see our community come together to make a lasting impact.
