The day might have been rainy and dull, but color was flying at Sheldon Middle School!
Middle School students participated in their Color Run this afternoon. Prior to the Color Run, students raised money in the forms of sponsorship for their participation in the Color Run, equaling over $40,000. This money will go directly to funding student activities, field trips and more.
What a FUN and COLORFUL day at Sheldon Middle School!
