| | ON THE NIGHT OF JAN. 10 a squall line passed through the mid-section of the country killing 11 people across several states. In Arkansas, there were 10 tornadoes but no deaths and only one injury. In Grant County, high winds toppled trees that fell over roads and highways and knocked out power to thousands. The Center Grove area along U.S. Hwy. 270, east of Sheridan, seemed to get the worst of the local weather. This property, located near Center Grove, had downed trees that barely missed a residence.

| Books now available in vending machines at SIS |  | Students at SIS who are caught doing an act of kindness or going above and beyond in academics or behavior will now have the chance to earn special coins to purchase books from the school’s brand new book vending machine!
SIS, in partnership with SIS PTO, purchased the book vending machine to encourage reading as part of the state’s reading initiative (RISE) and to reinforce the Sheridan School District’s focus on the Capturing Kids’ Hearts model for school culture, which encourages and facilitates the development of meaningful, productive relationships among students and staff.

At most schools, if you find a vending machine, the most you will be able to get is a tasty or healthy snack. Sheridan Intermediate School offers something a bit more substantial: books.
Recently, the school implemented vending machines that dispense books to students who had earned a coin through special acts.
