Up next is Neil Patel from the class of 2022. Neil lives in Brooklyn, New York and is a student at New York University Tandon School of Engineering. Neil shared his thoughts about the Sheldon Community School District, "The SCSD allowed me to be involved in Marching Band, Cross Country, Fall Musical, Speech, and Summer Theater, strengthening my work ethic. These activities gave me the challenging experiences I needed to adapt to NYU's rigorous course load and overcome any unforeseen challenges. I also greatly appreciate the teachers and staff at SCSD for providing a welcoming and friendly environment and making my experience at SCSD enjoyable. As a recent graduate of SCSD, I am excited to discover additional ways SCSD has impacted me as I continue my education at NYU and eventually enter the workforce as a Civil Engineer."

Up next is Rachel Abele from the class of 2015. Rachel lives in Bloomington, Minnesota and works as the Environmental Specialist at Cameron’s Coffee. Rachel shared her thoughts about the Sheldon Community School District, Growing up going to the Sheldon schools really taught me a sense of community because of how close everyone is and the support the community shows when someone needs it. The knowledge I got throughout the years also served as a great base for my undergraduate and even masters degrees and I feel that the education I received prepared me well for higher education and just life in general. The schools also provided a number of extracurricular activities that have left me with great memories such as golf and summer theatre and plenty others that I’m grateful I had the opportunity to participate it. Sheldon saw me grow up and was there for all the goods, bad, and extremely awkward middle school years which must’ve been a tough four years for all involved."
