Each time you sign in at the office to volunteer in a classroom, sign your name on a piece of paper and drop it into our volunteer box at the front office. The more you volunteer, the more chances you will have to win! At the end of each month, we will have a drawing. This month’s prize is a $10 Barnes & Noble gift card!

Our teachers, staff, and students really benefit from the generous sharing of your time. speaking of volunteers...
We have several openings for coordinator positions for the 2017-2018 school year. These positions give you lots of opportunities to get involved in activities at Shelton - and kids LOVE it when they see "their" adults in the building!
Many coordinators are "retiring" because their students are moving on to middle school. You can get involved NOW and learn from these coordinators before they move on! Science & engineering fair news
Building on the enthusiasm from Shelton's awesome Math & Science Night, students will begin to prepare this fall for the Science and Engineering Fair, Jan 26th.
Tip of the week: Ask your students what interests them, and what science, engineering, or research topic fits their interests.
