Our sophomores attended the O'Brien County Career Day today where they were able to learn more about careers available right here in O'Brien County. Students spent the morning touring different businesses throughout O'Brien County learning about what employees do, training required, and career advancements available. Students also were able to listen to a variety of panel speakers who shared more about the careers they do. Students were able to ask them questions about their career in O'Brien County and why they choose to work there. Thanks to all of the businesses that welcomed our students into their buildings, O'Brien County Economic Development for hosting the event, the panelist for answering questions, NCC for allowing this event to be held in their buildings, and everyone else who helped make this possible for our students! #LeadOn #careers #learning #obriencounty #sheldonhighschool #sheldonorabs

Mat Ball is a fan favorite for High School PE! Mat ball is similar to kickball, but instead of bases students have to jump onto large padded mats as they travel from base to base. #LeadOn #PE #sheldonorabs #orabs #fitness

Sheldon High School students Rachel Beesaw, Emma Boone, Valerie Cook, Sadie Dietrick, and Olivia Prewitt attended the WISE Conference at Iowa State University last week. Students attended four sessions throughout the day, heard two different ISU students share about their program and journey to where they are today. The students ended the day with a panel of ISU students, one of which was Sheldon's own, Lexie Merley! You might recognize Lexi Merley for her time on KTIV as an intern for the meteorology department. Overall the girls had a great day learning more about women in science and the careers that are available. One highlight was that the Sheldon group won the STEM Trivia Kahoot game! #LeadOn #Orabs #sheldon #sheldonorabs #WISEISU #STEM #ISU

Our students in Spanish II are practicing their speaking skills by pretending to purchase items from a market. Students were required to come up with a list of items that they needed to buy. Students then had to use the correct Spanish words to ask for specific items, question how much something they wanted costs, as well as pay for those items. This was a great way for our students to practice a real life setting that they would have to use their Spanish speaking skills. #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #spanish #spanishclass #sheldonhighschool
