Shamrock Gardens

Shamrock Gardens Elementary School is Plaza Midwood’s revitalized neighborhood elementary school. Not very long ago, neighbors did not consider it an option for their children’s education. Now, with an established partial magnet program, an active PTA, and beautiful gardens, the hallways are filled with familiar faces!

The PMNA donates to the Shamrock PTA every year in order to help the PTA accomplish its goals of enriching academic instruction and increasing parent involvement. For 2011, the PMNA made a donation to help establish chess instruction for second graders. All three second grade classes are being taught chess by Young Master Chess, a Plaza Midwood-based business that teaches in many area schools.

Shamrock always needs volunteers and mentors! If you are interested in learning more about becoming involved with the school, please contact Sarah Gates at sarahgates@earthlink.net or 704.619.1633. Additionally, the school’s upcoming open house dates this year are 12/6 at 7 pm, 1/12 at 4pm, and 1/17 at 9:00 am.  The school’s telephone number is 980-343-6440 and it is located at 3301 Country Club Drive.
