Kickoff Assembly: Dec. 2 during school hours
We’ve invited some UC Denver and School of Mines students to help our Shelton kids understand a little more about preparing for S&EF in a fun “skit” format assembly. S&EF registration: dec. 2 - Dec. 16
Registration will be online on our new S&EF website! The registration link will become active on Dec. 2nd.
The site is filled with lots of great information for parents and kids. We’re hoping that the easy-to-follow format will help guide everyone through the science fair preparation and the event itself. Comments/question can be left on the web site, or emailed to one of us.

A team of 8 Shelton Health Heroes recently attended the "Fuel Greatness" celebration at Mile High stadium. The annual event rewards schools whose wellness teams have achieved "touchdown status" through the Fuel Up to Play 60 program.
Our lucky heroes got to meet Broncos cheerleaders, players, coaches and were treated to a "behind the scenes" tour of the stadium. Way to go, health heroes! Comments are closed.
