MONROE COUNTY, Fla. – Current Gerald Adams assistant principal, Dr. Kyle Sheer, has been chosen as the school’s next principal, according to Superintendent Mark Porter. Sheer, will take over for current principal Dr. Fran Herrin, who moves to the district’s Executive Director of Teaching and Learning role beginning 2020-2021 school year.
“Dr. Sheer has been a stellar educator in Monroe County for the past 12 years,” Porter said. “He is a natural leader, who encourages growth and development among his staff and students, alike. His exemplary work as GAE assistant principal, makes him the ideal candidate for the job.”
Sheer, an Ohio native, came to Monroe County in 2008, after five years as a reading teacher and literacy coach in Pinellas County. He holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Ohio University (Athens), as well as a Doctorate in Educational Leadership/ Higher Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. Sheer spent his first five years in the Monroe County School District at Horace O’Bryant School as a middle school reading and American history teacher, also serving as a team leader and on the Building Level Planning Team (BLPT). Sheer’s devotion and commitment made him a student and staff favorite, earning him Teacher of the Year and KW Chamber of Commerce Teacher of the Quarter during his time at the school.
Sheer has spent the last six years as Gerald Adam’s assistant principal, where he is revered for his dedication, focus, and calm demeanor, while purposely ensuring that each individual student can learn and develop as a whole child. During his time at GAE, Sheer has played an important role in the planning and implementation of many of the school’s programs, such as the Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) program, which has earned the prestigious Gold Status since its inception and StoryBook Treasures, a non-profit literacy program that has put thousands of free books into students' homes. Sheer was also instrumental in the planning, construction, and transition to the new school building, which was awarded the Florida Education Facilities Planners Association (FEFPA) 1st place design.
The 2016-2017 MCSD Assistant Principal of the Year is praised by his staff for always encouraging and supporting teachers and staff to be the best educators they can possibly be.
“Dr. Sheer has been an asset to GAE since the day he started,” stated GAE teacher and BLPT member, Ashley Henriquez. “Each day he proves his dedication to the students and staff of GAE, through leadership, compassion, fairness, consistency, and a listening ear. His main vision and focus is always on what benefits our students.”
Veteran teacher, Katie Catena, has also worked with Sheer since he started at GAE and is excited that he will be the school’s new principal. “Dr. Sheer exhibits leadership skills that benefit the staff, parents, and students of Gerald Adams,” Catena said. “He embraces the cultural diversity that represents our school and will continue to be an invaluable asset as our principal.”
In addition to the support of his GAE students, parents and staff, Sheer has the glowing support of his principal and mentor, Dr. Fran Herrin, who is more than confident in handing him the reins. “I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Sheer for six years. During this time, Kyle has made a true impact on Gerald Adams School,” Herrin stated. “He is caring, genuine and has a true love of students and our staff. He is passionate about learning and providing all students with the optimal opportunities for success. I am thrilled that Dr. Sheer will lead this amazing staff to continued success.”
Sheer and his wife Sarah, also a MCSD educator, have two children, Hudson (age 4) and Kennedy (age 2). He is honored to be selected as the new principal of the school where his children will start attending soon.
“I am excited to be entrusted to carry on the long, rich tradition of Gerald Adams. Whole-child education has been, and will always be, the cornerstone of our school,” Sheer said. “We have a powerful team of educators who share an appreciation of diversity and believe that their students’ potential is limitless. I consider myself lucky to be part of this school community.”
Theresa Axford, Executive Director of Teaching and Learning and incoming Superintendent has full confidence in Sheer’s ability to lead GAE. “Dr. Sheer has a true heart for teaching and learning,” Axford stated. “GAE will continue to flourish under his leadership.”

21st Century Community Learning Centers
Notice of Intent to Apply
TAPS 21B030 - Statewide
This letter is to serve as formal notice that Monroe County School District intends to enter into the 2020-2021 grant competition for 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC).
The purpose of 21st Century Community Learning Centers is to provide opportunities during non-school hours for academic enrichment. These opportunities include tutorial services, homework help, youth development activities, nutrition and health education, drug and violence prevention programs, arts, music, physical fitness and wellness programs, technology education programs, financial literacy programs, environmental literacy programs, mathematics, science, and career and technical programs. 21st Century Community Learning Centers also provide opportunities for adult family members to participate in their child’s education by taking part in activities and information sessions.
Monroe County currently operates a 21st Century Community Learning Center program at Gerald Adam’s Elementary School, which is in its final program year. This Notice of Intent to Apply for the 2020-2021 grant competition would potentially launch a new program period and would continue to provide Gerald Adams students with additional academic opportunities.

“Renew the Promise” – Flexible Spending for the Monroe County Schools – March 17, 2020: Since 2004 the voters of Monroe County have authorized the school board to levy .5 mils to be used for operating expenses. This authorization is required to be renewed every four years (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020). This referendum generates $1765 per student for ALL schools. We hope you find time during our Spring Break to VOTE to renew school funding.
Please see the calendar below for the many ways we will choose to celebrate our upcoming Literacy Week!

Stop Bullying on the Spot
When adults respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior(s) they send the message that it is not acceptable. Research shows this can stop bullying behavior over time.
Parents, school staff, and other adults in the community can help kids prevent bullying by talking about it, building a safe school environment, and creating a community-wide bullying prevention strategies.
Here are some websites for strategies:

Dear Families,
Summer is a fun and exciting time for everyone to enjoy the outdoors, spend time with families and
friends and simply relax. It is also a perfect opportunity to encourage students to read!
Over the summer, many students experience the summer slide, which can rob them of gains they
made the previous school year. Children who do not read over the summer can lose more than two
months of reading achievement. Unfortunately, summer reading loss is cumulative.
Together, we can help your student avoid the summer slide! Did you know that your student has
access to myON, a personalized collection of more than 5,800 digital books to read over the
summer on computers, laptops and other devices anytime, anywhere? myON contains books for
every age, interest and reading level that will keep them engaged and learning all summer long!
To help encourage reading this summer, myON has created a national reading contest to motivate
kids to read and will reward top readers with cool prizes. The theme of this year’s contest is
Reading is a BLAST this summer with myON. Please encourage your student to read as much as
possible - they will be entered for a chance to win by reading 10 or more books!
Be sure to follow myON on Facebook (myONFanClub) and @myONreader for important updates
and special events during the summer. Go to https://support.myon.com/resources-tutorials/
overview to learn more about myON this summer.
We hope you enjoy the 2018 Reading is a BLAST with myON Summer Reading Program!
Happy reading!
The myON Team

The students have three works of art being displayed in the art show. Make sure to walk around the entire school to see all of the creative projects.
Two students will be chosen for the Artist of the Year. This award is given to students that have shown their love for art through their exemplary projects, work ethic, and creativity that they have shown throughout elementary school. They will receive a special art trophy and will get their artwork put on permanent display at GAE. This show will begin at 6;00 PM before the musical performance in the cafeteria.
Each student created a fantasy themed art project throughout the year. They used neon colors to create their artwork. For the art show, we gathered all of those art projects and transformed the stage to become a magical Fantasy Land installation. Come experience a new look on artwork!
Have you always wanted a pet? Well come make your very own Pet Rock! You get to use your creativity and design exactly how you want your pet rock to look like.
Bring your friends and family to take a memorable photo of the Art Extravaganza. Watch and see how the photograph turns into a painting by using a fun iPad App. Also there will be famous works of art throughout the ages that you can put your face in, snap a photo, and become a part of the masterpiece.
Help make a work of art for our new school! We will be creating a mural that will become a beautiful art piece for the new school in the future. Located in the Art Room.
In the art room there will be the new 3D printers creating 3 dimensional artwork using technology. A big THANK YOU to the CFFFK Community Foundation of the Florida Keys for awarding the art room the grant to purchase the 3D Printers for the students to use in the future!
There will be guest artists around the school creating artwork. This is a great way for the students to observe a professional artist at work.
There will be a Dinner to help fundraise for the Art Program. Come purchase a delicious meal and enjoy the GAE Choir sing. Located in the Cafeteria.

We are inviting students to Pledge to Respect/sign the poster, there will be a drawing for PLEDGE TO RESPECT shirts and bracelets, along with candy treat (a tootsie roll to “Roll to Respect.”) Please stop by and take the Pledge to Respect.
This program is sponsored by Project Unify. Project Unify is a sports and education program that partners students with and without disabilities to create a more inclusive school environment where students are able to work together, excel athletically and academically regardless of ability.
We encourage you before visiting the PLEDGE TO RESPECT booth to discuss with your students the importance of respecting everyone as a unique individual no matter what their differences (academic, athletic, and physical abilities) as well as race, color, or ethiniticity.
