Sheridan County School District #3

Calling all musicians!

Indomitus has taken a commanding lead to kick off this semester! 🛡️🔥 But 2nd place is still anybody’s game! Don’t get too comfortable, Indomitus—there’s plenty of time for the other houses to catch up and shake things up! 🐾 Let’s go, Panthers! #HouseCompetition #IndomitusLeads #PantherPride #GameOn #PantherClaw

Today’s elementary spotlight shines on great sportsmanship at recess and excellent math help! 🌟 Our 2nd semester is off to an amazing start, made even better by our wonderful students and teachers. Keep up the great work, Panthers! 🐾💙 #PantherPride #SpotlightMoments #AmazingStudents #GreatSemester #PantherClaw

First day of self-defense for our students this semester, new mats out, ready for a great day and a great week! #PantherClaw

We are partnering with the Center for a Vital Community at Sheridan College to host Study Circles focused on middle schoolers. Middle school has always been hard for biological and social reasons – now it’s harder than ever due to changes in technology. Everyone is invited to take part in Study Circles. Whether you’ve had a middle schooler, there’s one in your future, you work with them, they frequent your business, or you’re just interested in learning more about how you can help, join a Circle! Our kickoff will be here at the school on January 21. Study Circles will be held at a variety of times and days throughout Sheridan County for the convenience of participants.  8 to 12 people will be in each Circle  All ages are welcome to join a community Circle  Groups will meet for five two-hour sessions  Recognizing that most students don't have two hours available, we will be hosting a Circle here at school during the school day  Two facilitators will lead each group  Study Circles run from January 27 to March 7  A full schedule is available at sheridancvc.org, and you don’t need to sign up in advance to attend. After the five weeks of Circles, we bring the best ideas forward to put it all together at the Action Forum on March 12 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Hub on Smith’s Community Room. Study Circles is not talking to talk. Real change happens when our community comes together around a subject they care about. Past Study Circles include conversations about mental health, poverty, and creating a dementia-friendly community. They all created initiatives that are still going strong and making significant impacts here in Sheridan County. I encourage you to participate in Study Circles and be a part of creating solutions! Come to our kickoff on January 21 and learn more.
