GRANDPARENTS’ DAY 2022
Thank you to all of the grandparents and special friends who
made Grandparents’ Day so meaningful for our students. Our
students, teachers and staff were so excited to show off their
school. Grandparents enjoyed a presentation with 178 student
performers, including performances from the Upper School
Band, Upper Elementary Music, Middle School Cheerleaders,
Eighth Grade Musical Theatre Cast, Varsity Cheerleaders,
Fourth-Twelfth Grade Combined Choirs, Chargerettes and
Drumline. More than $32,000 in raffle tickets for a free tuition
were sold. The Shelton Parents’ Association coordinated the
special day.
Senior Sydney Carter was the student speaker on Thursday,
Nov. 17. “Shelton has helped me grow as a student, athlete and
person,” she said. “Shelton has helped me realize that I have
learning challenges, but I am not defined by them.” Sydney was
accepted to the University of Arizona, University of Arkansas,
University of Kansas, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State
University and Texas Tech, and she received a scholarship to
each school.
Senior John Bulmer was the student speaker on Friday, Nov. 18.
“The aspect that I believe has helped me to succeed to the level
I have today is the personal relationships I have built with my
teachers, as well as the confidence they have in me,” he said. He
attends Texas A&M, where he majors in Rangeland, Wildlife and
Fisheries Management with an emphasis on aquaculture and
fisheries.
