Sheldon Middle School students enjoyed an activity took during our December all-school assembly. One teacher from each grade, along with four students, was selected to “build a snowman” using the teacher as the snowman. A fifth team made up of all teachers also competed against the grade-level teams.
Each team was challenged to completely use three rolls of toilet paper, along with mittens, a hat, and a carrot, within the allotted time.
The 7th-grade team—featuring Mrs. Keizer as the snowman—claimed the win! The winner was determined by the loudest cheering section.

Sheldon Middle School hosted their biannual Lip Sync Contest before holiday break, and it did not disappoint! Seventh- and eighth-grade TAs prepared holiday-themed lip sync performances and took the stage for their peers. The competition was fun, fierce, and full of energy.
Mrs. Cabrera’s TA captured the 7th-grade title with their Talent Show Medley featuring Alvin and the Chipmunks, while Mrs. Nilson’s TA took the win with Dominick the Donkey. Thank you to everyone for the laughs, creativity, and great memories made! 🎤🎶

Sheldon Middle School students in Mrs. T's science class made sweet tea in their lab class. They measured the mass of each ingredient to learn about what happens to the mass of materials when they dissolve.

Breakfast is served Monday through Friday!
Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, especially for students. If your student doesn't have time to each breakfast at home, they can eat breakfast at school. Eating breakfast can benefit them in many ways throughout the school day. They are able to concentrate better, are more alert, and can have better test scores! Thank you to our wonderful kitchen staff who serve breakfast at each of our buildings.
Free and reduced applications are available in the school offices, or at https://www.sheldonschools.com/page/free

Sheldon Middle School students learned about magnetism as a property of matter. They tested various materials and learned that not all metals are magnetic.

Sheldon Middle School sixth graders simulated what happens when you sneeze by comparing the spread from sneezing without a tissue versus sneezing into one. They had fun popping balloons, taking measurements, and analyzing the results of their experiment.

With the help of custodian and “magic maker” Steph Madsen, Mrs. Cabrera hosted a “Paint Your Own Holiday Cookie” activity for Wellness Wednesday. Students used edible paints and markers to design their cookies, choosing from stencils or creating freehand designs. It was such a sweet and fun-filled morning!
