Sheldon Middle School

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

Sheldon Middle School students learned about magnetism as a property of matter. They tested various materials and learned that not all metals are magnetic.
