INVE$T Success!

A huge thank you to our incredible families, scholars and local community partners for helping us reach our fall fundraising goals! Your support made INVE$T Month a true success. We’re so grateful to be part of a community that comes together to make Shamrock shine every day. 

One day left! Make your INVE$T donation by tomorrow!

And don’t forget — tomorrow (Friday) is Costume Day at SGE! 🎃 Be sure to review the costume rules here so everyone can enjoy the fun safely.

Movie Night @ SGE

Grab your blankets, lawn chairs and favorite movie buddies,
it’s time for Family Movie Night! 🎬

A huge thank-you to our Title Sponsor, The Whole Blooming Landscape! 🌸

Celebrate 50 Days!

Celebrate the 50th day of school in style! On November 7th, students can dress in fun 50’s fashion — think poodle skirts, leather jackets, and saddle shoes!

It’s also a Donate to Dress Down Day, so you can choose to rock your favorite casual outfit or go all out with a 50’s look!

Lost & Found

Attention Shamrock families!
The school year is flying by—and so are the clothes into our Lost & Found!

Label it: Add your scholar’s name to all items. PTA volunteers check weekly and return anything labeled.
Find it: The Lost & Found is near the cafeteria entrance. Stop by before or after school or during lunch.
Claim it soon: Anything left unclaimed will be donated during the November 4 Teacher Workday.

Spirit Wear Update!

We’ve switched things up for spirit wear — instead of an on-demand shop, we’re now doing pre-order sales!

Our newest batch is open October 29–November 24, featuring dri-fit tees, tie-dye, sweatshirts, and more decked out with our Shamrock Gardens logo. All orders will be delivered before Christmas, just in time for holiday gifting!

New this year: You can also choose to donate a spirit wear item to a Shamrock student!

Questions? Contact Alyssa Sharpe, Spirit Wear Chair, at sgespritwearshop@gmail.com.

Pre-Order SGE Spirit Wear
Rent the Rock

You can also Rent the Rock any week of the year for just $20, which raises money for SGE and shows off our community's creativity and spirit.

Harris Teeter VIC

Link your VIC card to SGE (code 3961), and a portion of your Harris Teeter purchases will be donated back to Shamrock! This must be done each year. Log in to HT's Together in Education, and cross this off your list.

Shout-Out to Our Sponsors!

These amazing sponsors are part of our school team—go show them some love!
