Sheldon High School

The Sheldon High School Art Club visited Sanford Hospital and Senior Care, where they spent half the day spreading holiday cheer by decorating and brightening the windows for the season.

Their creativity and hard work helped bring smiles to residents, patients, and staff throughout the facility. This meaningful experience was a wonderful way for students to give back to the community, and plans are already in place to make this an annual service project in the years ahead.

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

Merry Christmas from the Sheldon Community School District!
Wishing our students, staff, families, and community a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, gratitude, and meaningful moments. May your days be bright with laughter, rest, and time spent with the ones who matter most.
