Monday, March 31 through Friday, April 4, Shepherd School members and students are taking it easy for the annual tradition of spring break.

Spring break gives an opportunity for teachers and students alike to enjoy spring weather and gear up for the end of the school year.

Some families schedule their vacations during this time. The Iserhoth’s will travel to Florida to visit family and hang out at the beach.

“I like spring break,” said Shepherd Elementary first grader, Mason Iserhoth. “We go to Florida every year.”

The Shepherd High School junior varsity baseball team is going to Florida to play a few preseason games, before coming back and starting the season next Wednesday, April 9 against Mount Pleasant.

Spring break also gives teachers an opportunity to catch up on paperwork and prepare for the rest of the school year. It also gives them time to themselves and a chance to relax from the stressful school days.

“Spring break is always a welcome opportunity to get things done not only at school but also at home,” said Shepherd Middle School Math teacher, Craig Ericksen. “I have papers to grade and some yard work that needs to be done, that’s how I am going to spend my spring break.”

Classes will resume on Monday, April 7 and continue until Tuesday, June 10 which is the last half day for students.
