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!

Exploring new realms of creativity in our Writers Makerspace during English 9 at the Sheldon High School.
Students were able to create a character that would be featured in their creative short story. Having the ability to create before writing helped students form character ideas and plot lines in a hands on way before even sitting down to write.

We are proud to share that our very own Sheldon High School students had the incredible opportunity to participate in the 2024 Central Space Design Competition held in Houston, Texas!
Hosted by InSimEd and located at the prestigious Johnson Space Center at the Gilruth Center facility, this competition was nothing short of extraordinary.
Twenty schools from Iowa, including Sheldon, traveled to Houston, organized by NWAEA.
With approximately 140 students from across Iowa and Texas, our Sheldon students delved into a simulation game set in the future.
On the first day, they were treated to a captivating keynote speech and engaged in a Moon Quiz, setting the stage for an enriching experience. Anita Gale's introduction to the competition sparked enthusiasm, and students wasted no time diving into their roles within their respective companies.
Let's give a huge shoutout to our talented Sheldon team members:
🌟 Rachel Besaw - Human Engineering
🌟 Emma Boone - Marketing/Sales and Human Engineering
🌟 Gage Haan - Automation Engineering
🌟 Abigail Otto - Human Engineering
🌟 Eric Van Maanen - Automation Engineering
Their dedication, teamwork, and passion for space exploration truly shone throughout the competition.
