Sheldon Middle School

Today marks the end of the first quarter, and what an amazing start it’s been to the school year! Students, staff, and families have all contributed to a successful beginning filled with hard work, growth, and school spirit. Let’s keep the momentum going—finish strong and continue making Orab Nation proud!

Sheldon Middle School students had a great time working on a creative paper mâché art project as part of their leadership class. This hands-on activity encouraged teamwork, patience, and creativity as students designed and built their unique pieces.

It's National School Bus Safety Week! This year's theme is "Safe Stops. Stronger Communities," and it focuses on the importance of safety for students in and around school buses. This week, students will take part in bus evacuation drills. Be sure to ask your child what they learned!
