Congratulations to our Sheldon High School students who have qualified for Individual All-State Speech!

🟠 Rachel Besaw — Prose, Going Grapefruit
🟠 Theresa Nilles — Expository Address, A Musical Journey
🟠 Eli Thiner — Storytelling, I, Cthulhu

On Saturday, 15 students represented Sheldon at the Individual Speech State Contest in Denison, performing a total of 24 events. From those performances, three were selected as the best in their centers and have earned the opportunity to perform at All-State in Cedar Falls in just a few weeks.

Receiving an All-State nomination is an outstanding accomplishment that is awarded to only a small percentage of performers across Iowa. This recognition is especially meaningful for Rachel, as this will be her fourth time performing at All-State — an honor achieved by only a handful of students statewide. Go Orabs!
