GRATITUDE Student-Leaders – October 2026
Shelbyville Main Street Elementary School & Kindergarten Center is completely invested in the social & emotional development of our youth with equal value to academics. The October Focus is Gratitude: “An attitude of Gratitude” with a message regarding a “mindset” shift to focus on the special things about us & people in our lives. This will ensure we are more happy & satisfied in our lives. The other aspect is the “power of appreciation.” We challenge students to notice & capitalize on opportunities to show others that they are important & appreciated. This is powerful for a relationship & you will never regret it. This month’s character trait focus is sponsored by The TAKEOFF & owners, Heath & Angela Righter.

Parent / Teacher Conferences are tonight for high school students. We will host another during the spring term. You can call the SHS Office to make and appointment, or you are also welcome to stop by without having done that. Our doors are open to you from 3:30pm-7:00pm. Check in at the office upon arrival. Holy Grail Food Truck will be on site if that peaks your interest more than a sit down conversation with your child's teacher. Either way, we are happy to host. - Mr. Ladd | Principal

A huge shout-out to Amanda Isley of Shelby Realty and Todd Blades with Sloan Implement Company. Both of these individuals created shirts for the seventh and eighth grade teachers to promote College and Career Readiness Wednesdays. Our students were interested to learn about local businesses. Students were interested to see what jobs are available in our community. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and helped us with this project.

College and career readiness Wednesdays have been a huge hit so far. The students are learning about a wide variety of options in their futures. The carpenters' union, Local 243 and GAP helped us out during the past couple of weeks. Did you know that the carpenters' union provides training to their apprentices? Also, GAP provides over 80,000 jobs ranging from sales to finance, to graphic design. Look for local businesses in the next college and career readiness post.
Over the past few weeks, 7th-grade art students have learned how to build houses using cardboard construction and toilet paper mache. These houses had to follow balance principles as well as demonstrate dry-brushing techniques and color washes.
Students at Moulton voted for what they thought was the best house!
1st Place, Paisley S., 2nd Place, Orianna B., and 3rd Place, Hailey S.
Honorable Mentions
Morgan P. Jax W., Eli H., Paisley F., and Maddi R.

9-25 Dolly Day at our Middle School!
We had so much fun celebrating “9-25” Dolly Day today! Our students created their own Coats of Many Colors, filling them with kind, encouraging, and uplifting words for one another.
Our staff also enjoyed filling their “Cup of Ambition” with a little Dolly-inspired fun!
A huge thank-you to our high school band for treating us to a special performance of “9 to 5,” and to the high school art club for helping us decorate our fabulous Cups of Ambition!
It was a day filled with kindness, creativity, music, and plenty of Dolly spirit.
“Working 9 to 5” and having a whole lot of fun doing it!

Shelbyville High School is hosting an informational presentation tonight. Specialized representatives will be here to talk about the topic of FAFSA completion. This is especially important, relevant, and helpful to seniors and their parents. Junior class students and parents might also want to attend. The presentation will be held in the auditorium at 6:00pm. Applicants can fill out their FSA ID in the system this month. The new FAFSA application will be released on October 1. File by Thanksgiving, because limited aid budgets run out early. Filling out the FAFSA, or completing the waiver (available in the SHS office), is a graduation requirement in the State of Illinois.

The seventh and eighth grade teachers at Moulton have started wearing shirts representing colleges and careers to expose students to the many options they have after high school. So far, Lake Land College in Mattoon and Eastern Illinois University in Charleston have shared t-shirts, pens, and pamphlets. Each week, we would like to share information about a business or career path available in our community. Thank you to those who have reached out and agreed to help us.
