Submitted by Sheridan Community Schools

The Sheridan Middle School (SMS) Academic Team recently participated in its competition, finishing with 24 points.

Students demonstrated hard work, teamwork, and perseverance at the event. Sponsored by SMS English Teacher Amy Wilson, the event provided an opportunity for these young scholars to showcase their academic skills and support one another in a collaborative environment.

The eighth-grade participants – Emily Cramer, Joshua Dodson, Patrick Kelly, Ellen Phillips, and Grayson Stultz – along with the seventh-grade participants – Cade Bishop, Caroline Bolyard, Kason Cramer, Waylon Hoffman, and Audrey Weir – worked together to represent Sheridan with pride and determination.

“The students worked hard, supported their teammates and represented Sheridan really well!” Wilson said.

While the team’s placement was not as high as they had hoped, their positive attitude and commitment were clear throughout the event. Their focus on teamwork and support highlighted the true spirit of the competition, and the experience provided valuable lessons in resilience, academic growth, and sportsmanship.

This event not only served as a learning opportunity for everyone involved but also set the stage for even greater achievements in future competitions. The students’ hard work and teamwork both embody the values of excellence and perseverance that are central to the school community.
