The day might have been rainy and dull, but color was flying at Sheldon Middle School!
Middle School students participated in their Color Run this afternoon. Prior to the Color Run, students raised money in the forms of sponsorship for their participation in the Color Run, equaling over $40,000. This money will go directly to funding student activities, field trips and more.
What a FUN and COLORFUL day at Sheldon Middle School!

Farm Safety Day was held today at Sheldon High School.
This year, the Sheldon High School FFA had 40 of their FFA members that took part in the planning and teaching of stations throughout the day. Just over 125 2nd graders from East Elementary, Sanborn Christian and Sheldon Christian come to learn more about Farm Safety.
A huge thank you to a number of local businesses and organizations that helped make today possible: Sanford Sheldon, Sheldon Power, O'Brien County Implement, and Sheldon Fire and Rescue.

Students in 8th grade health class worked on learning more about each other and how we are alike by completing a hexagon activity. Students were able to connect their hexagons and see how they were alike or different from their classmates.
The final student connections can be seen in the hallways at the Sheldon Middle School.
