• A Quinceñera Runway will again be featured in our Hispanic Heritage Assembly this month on October 16. Please see Alma, Daisy Espinoza, or Ms Albrich if you're interested in participating.
• We have a new Business Club called Sheldon DECA. If you are interested in pursuing a career in Business, Marketing, Hospitality, or Entrepreneurship, come to our first meeting this Tuesday (9/30) at lunch in A6 - Mr. Phillipo's Room.
• Class time is a focused space for learning. To support that:

• Cell phones and personal electronic devices must be turned off and put away during instructional time.
• This applies everywhere in the building during class periods— classrooms, hallways, and restrooms are included in this (even if you have a free period during that time)
• Phones may only be used before school, after school, during passing periods, morning break, and at lunch

• Attention Students: The Deadline to drop classes without a mark on your transcript is Wednesday, October 1st!  Students have until October 1st to complete the drop process and have no mark on their transcript. Starting October 2nd, a “WD” (for Withdrawal) or a “WF” (for Withdrawal While Failing) will be added for a dropped Semester 1 class. Class Drop forms are available with school counselors.  Parent/guardian permission is required, and textbooks, materials, & calculators need to be returned promptly.
• Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month! As you may already know, The Latino Student Union (LSU) is a student organization commonly found in schools and universities across the United States.The formation of Latino Student Unions can be traced back to the civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Till this day,  it serves as a support network and advocacy group for Latino students, promoting cultural awareness, educational opportunities, and community engagement. Latino Student Unions have empowered countless students to embrace their cultural identities, pursue higher education, and become leaders in their communities. The advocacy work of these organizations has led to increased representation of Latino students in higher education, improved support services, and greater cultural awareness on college campuses. Shout out to our Sheldon Latino Student Union members, leaders, advisor, and its co-conspirators for keeping this Union continuously and tirelessly running.
• Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month! Today we’re highlighting “La Llorona,” a traditional Mexican folk song with deep cultural roots. The song tells the haunting story of “The Weeping Woman,” a legendary figure in Mexican folklore. Over the years, La Llorona has been reimagined by many famous artists, including Chavela Vargas and even featured in the movie Coco. Check out the Sheldon's Dubliners performance during the Hispanic Heritage Assembly as they perform La LLorona.
