Sheldon Community School District will be running 2 hours late today due to weather. There will be no AM preschool.
Biology students have been learning about DNA in class. Students performed a strawberry DNA extraction lab to see what DNA actually looks like.
Many people assume that because DNA is so small, that you can't see it without powerful microscopes. But in fact, DNA can be easily seen with the naked eye when collected from thousands of cells.
Through this lab students were better able to see the DNA of a strawberry and better understand the structure of purpose of DNA.

Our High School Students have an option to take Community Service as a class for some of the year. These students can pick different areas in the community to do this class.
Many students choose to help out at the Elementary and Middle School during this class. Some of the tasks the students help out with include helping our teachers prep class materials, work with students on homework and skills or just have a few minutes to hang out and form relationships with underclassmen.

Students in Family Consumer Science are working on their sewing unit.
Their current project is making baby blankets for babies that are in the NICU. Once the students are done with the blankets, they will be donated to a hospital to use for their NICU babies.
Not only are students working on their skills in this project, but the finished project will be used for a great purpose outside of our school!

In Physics class, students constructed devices to safely land an egg from varying heights around the school grounds. Students had to account for gravity's effect on the egg and air resistance as the heights increased.
All but one, succeeded at the tallest height tested, the top of the football field bleachers.
