Our High School Students have an option to take Community Service as a class for some of the year. These students can pick different areas in the community to do this class. Many students choose to help out at the Elementary and Middle School during this class. Some of the tasks the students help out with include helping our teachers prep class materials, work with students on homework and skills or just have a few minutes to hang out and form relationships with underclassmen. #LeadOn #Orabs

Students in Family Consumer Science are working on their sewing unit. Their current project is making baby blankets for babies that are in the NICU. Once the students are done with the blankets, they will be donated to a hospital to use for their NICU babies. Not only are students working on their skills in this project, but the finished project will be used for a great purpose outside of our school! #orabs #LeadOn #NICU

In Physics class, students constructed devices to safely land an egg from varying heights around the school grounds. Students had to account for gravity's effect on the egg and air resistance as the heights increased. All but one, succeeded at the tallest height tested, the top of the football field bleachers. #leadon #orabs #sheldon

The Sheldon FCA Group is excited to be helping to distribute and fill boxes for Operation Christmas Child! Their goal is to fill at least 120 boxes, this goal is 5 more boxes than they filled last year. They are asking for your help in reaching their goal! If you are interested in helping out or have questions, please contact Mr. Letsche at the High School for more information. A rough estimate is the cost to fill a box is around $25. In addition there is also a suggested $10 donation for shipping. There are instructions inside the boxes as to what things can and cannot go in the boxes. Also, information about age appropriate gifts. #orabs #leadon
