The Sheldon High School Fellowship of Christian Athletes is very excited to be helping to distribute/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!
A rough estimate is the cost to fill a box is around $25. In addition there is also a suggested $10 donation for shipping.
If you are interested in helping them reach their goal, contact Mr. Letsche (see image for email information) There are instructions inside the boxes as to what things can and cannot go in the boxes. Also, information about age appropriate gifts.
DUE BACK TO THE HIGH SCHOOL November 11.
Thank you for your consideration.

Happy World Teacher's Day to our teachers at Sheldon!
We have an amazing staff that goes above and beyond to help our students succeed, have fun, learn and be safe while they are in our buildings.
Today and EVERYDAY, we thank you!
Our High School Life Skills 2 class has been diving into how to form friendships and communication to help form new friendships.
The class did a joint lesson with Village Northwest Unlimited in town. They spent the class period painting pumpkins with residents of VNU. Our students and the residents of VNU were able to practice communication skills that can help form friendships with new people!
This was as much fun as it was a good learning experience for everyone involved!

Our Junior class was able to go to Northwest Iowa Community College today for Career Day.
Career Day is a time for students to learn more about careers that they are interested in pursuing after high school. Some career areas that students got to learn more about included nursing, engineering, auto mechanic, architecture, radiology, accounting and more. Students were able to learn about 3 different careers that were of interest to them throughout the morning.
Students then attended the college fair, where area colleges had more information about what programs they offer, as well as a time for students to as specific questions.
Thanks to Northwest Iowa Community College for offering this opportunity for our area students.

GO ORABS!
Our students participate in many hands on learning activities and labs in their science classrooms. Mr. Anderson's Chemistry class made ionic compounds from the combustion reaction of magnesium.
Students had to put the products through multiple tests to see if they had similar properties to ionic compounds. They also tested the melting point and conductivity of the product.
Students were able to compare and contrast different products and their relations to ionic compounds as a result of this lab.

Preschool Picture Day and Picture Retake Day will be on Friday, September 23rd.
Our High School Biology students spent today doing a macromolecules lab with real world application.
The students had to analyze "stomach contents" to see what was in the last meal that the "person" had before they passed away.
**stomach contents were simulated to make this lab possible**

At the High School our commons are used many times throughout the day for breakfast, lunch and study halls, but during class hours you can spot teachers using the commons for extra classroom space to spread out and work with their students.
Mr. Letsche's Foundations of Geometry class spent the class period working on their assignment on angle relationships in the commons.
