Sheldon High School Mass Media students recently took a trip to Dakota News Now in Sioux Falls to learn about careers in news broadcasting.

During their visit, students got a behind-the-scenes look at how a live newsroom operates. They learned about the different roles involved in producing the news, including reporting, anchoring, filming, editing, and directing. Students also had the opportunity to see the studio, ask questions, and gain insight into the skills and education needed for a future in media and communications.

Thank you to Dakota News Now for providing this valuable hands-on learning experience and helping inspire our students as they explore potential career paths!

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!
