The Sheridan Yellowjacket golf team won the DeGray Lake Golf Tournament on Thursday, defeating Bismarck, Benton Harmony Grove, and Lake Hamilton. The Jackets were led by Harper Gillis who shot an impressive 39, and followed by Thatcher Allen and freshman Pierce Terry with 43. Jacks Young turned in a solid 46, and Beau Ramsey added a 48. The top three scores counted for Sheridan's score of 125. Gillis was the overall medalist, as Allen and Terry tied for third overall. Terry came up big, making his first varsity start. It was a great day for the Jackets! The Sheridan girls took second place overall as all four golfers improved on their scores. The Lady Jackets came in behind Bismarck but defeated conference foe Lake Hamilton. #YJNation #ChooseJoy

It's time to clean out that closet! If you have a musical instrument from your child's time in band (or when you were in band), please consider donating it to the Sheridan band program. We always have students who can benefit from a loaner if theirs is being repaired, and we have many students who are interested in learning secondary instruments. Many instruments can be put into playing condition with minor service and can continue to give someone the joy of making music.
If you have questions, please contact Gregg Scott at greggscott@sheridanschools.org or message at (501) 613-7862. He will be glad to provide you with an appraisal estimate for your donation records.
