· Secret Pals: Starting in December, we would like to “buddy up” the Sheldon Christian School students with a mentor/pen pal. We encourage grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and friends of Sheldon Christian School to prayerfully consider joining up with one or two students. Mentors will be asked to write an encouraging note once a month. Notes may also include a favorite Bible verse and a little goodie that fits inside an envelope. Mentors and students are asked to pray for one another throughout the school year. At the end of the year, we will host a special lunch and reveal to the students who their secret pal is. Please contact Sherri (324-2429) at the school office if you or one of your family members is interested in participating in this program.
