Today, we are saddened at the loss of a longtime member of the Yellowjacket family, Cindy Burton. Ms. Cindy passed away unexpectedly this morning in her home. She had been a valued member of the YJNation for 34 years and will be greatly missed. After reaching retirement as a cafeteria worker for the Sheridan School District seven years ago, she returned to serve the past five years as a daytime custodial worker. Ms. Cindy was a perfectionist in her work, had a ready smile for everyone she met, and was a friend to all. Please keep her family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as they go through this difficult time. Arrangements at Memorial Gardens are pending.
Mrs. Todd's and Mrs. Fuell's classes experimented with making rock candy today in the science lab. This will be a LONG two weeks for these students to wait and see if their experiment worked.
