Reminder!
Sheldon is set to host 3A Volleyball Regional Quarterfinal action on Monday, Oct. 18th vs. Okoboji starting at 7:00. As many of you are aware, the IHSAA (boys association) required online ticketing for all post-season events last year through Hometown Ticketing. The IGHSAU (girls union) is requiring some form of online ticketing this fall.
We have chosen to use Hometown for the girls games we host this year to match up with what will be required for the boys postseason games. Please note, other schools may choose to do ticketing through Varsity Bound or other programs.
You are able to order tickets now, by going to this link https://sheldonschools.hometownticketing.com/embed/all
Just a reminder, there will be no passes accepted for this game or other postseason events. We will NOT have a cash option available at the door, all tickets must be purchased online.
Tickets for our Regional Semi-Final should we advance will be available the morning of Oct. 19th. Contact the HS office if you have any questions

School Picture Day is next Friday, October 8! Pictures will be taken during the school day as a class, so this will be without parents.

2nd graders spread kindness after reading "A Little Spot of Kindness" by Diane Alber. They decorated the lunchroom and wrote a poem to read as they passed out "spots" and encouraged everyone to be kind at school and at home.
