Yesterday participants in The Champion Network had a year-end celebration where Young Orabs from East Elementary & their high school Champions met one final time for the school year. They had ice cream sundaes and got to take home photos to remember the first year of a successful mentorship program at Sheldon Community Schools!
A big thank you to the Champions who took time each week to spend time & get to know their Young Orabs!
Thank you!

Kindergarten is working hard on learning heart words at the end of the year!
One fun game they played was Heart Word Name Hunt.
Students are given a heart word to be their new name and they have to write all of their classmates new names.
A fun way to practice heart words!
Great work Kindergarten!

Math is even sweeter with candy!
Kindergarten students at East Elementary practiced their math skills with jelly beans. They had to sort, count, and then graph their jellybeans.
Finally they got to eat them!
