Sheridan Middle School - Inspire. Empower. Serve.

Sheridan Middle School ELA classes had a blast participating in a "book tasting" in the SMS Library this past week. Students were able to sample some of the new books throughout their four course "meal" and make notes about each book in their own menu. At the end of the tasting, students were able to order "to go" books to pick up in January when students return to school.

Sheridan Middle School is incredibly grateful to our amazing PTO for providing a delicious breakfast spread, complete with coffee, muffins, sausage biscuits, and more! From the variety of coffee pods and creamers to all the thoughtful touches, you truly made our teachers feel appreciated and cared for this Christmas season. Thank you for your kindness and support — we’re so thankful for all you do! #ExcellenceEveryDay

The Sheridan Middle School 6th–8th grade choir delivered outstanding performances at the State Capitol today.

Sheridan Middle School has its own Shark Tank! To celebrate wrapping up our Ancient India unit, Mrs. Walker's 6th grade classroom researched the Golden Age of India during the Gupta Empire. Each team became a mock business, crafting convincing pitches to potential investors about their Ancient Indian inventions. Students were judged on enthusiasm, knowledge, and selling skills for a shot at the grand prize. Exciting, educational, and creative efforts all around! #ExcellenceEveryDay

At Sheridan Middle School, great things are happening in Mrs. Bellomy’s 8th grade ELA class! Students became detectives in a Crime Scene Investigation activity to strengthen their Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning (CER) skills. They examined clues, analyzed witness statements, and reviewed evidence from a fictional scene. Working in teams, they made claims, supported them with text evidence, and explained their thinking logically. This hands-on activity reinforced their ability to draw conclusions and justify ideas with text-supported arguments.
