We are happy to announce a new program at the Sheldon Middle School that will benefit several of our students and impact all students! The Sheldon Middle School received a large donation of money from a local church to be used for middle school student needs. After looking at the needs of our students we felt the need to start a backpack program for those families who have students that receive free meals at the school during the week but that might not have sufficient food on the weekends. Each Friday, those students will receive a sack of food to take home to supplement the family's weekend food supply. Letters were sent home to those families who qualified on Friday and we have already received several of the permission forms back this week! ALL our students will take a turn with their homeroom or TA to pack the bags, so they will all be helping with this great project!
Here is a link to the video that we showed the students last week to help them realize just how many students are hungry over the weekend and that this is not just a big city problem, but also a problem right here in SHELDON!
IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR CHILD TO BE A PART OF THE SHELDON MIDDLE SCHOOL BACKPACK PROGRAM OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE FUNDS TO THE PROGRAM, PLEASE CONTACT MRS. KOPPERUD OR MRS. BARWICK AT 324-4346!
