Dear Families,

We had a fantastic week here at Sells Middle School! Our staff participated in a fun “Underground Spirit Week,” where teachers dressed according to a secret theme each day and students tried to guess the theme. It created a lot of excitement and great conversations throughout the building as students worked together to figure out the daily clues.

Today we wrapped up the week by celebrating Pi Day (3.14). Students enjoyed a variety of activities, including friendly competitions and, of course, eating pie! It was a fun way to bring math to life while also building community and school spirit.

Thank you for your continued support of our school. We appreciate the partnership we have with our families and look forward to more fun and learning as we move through the spring.

With ROCK Pride,

Katy O'Neal

The Sells 8th Grade Orchestra had an incredible night at Upper Arlington High School for the 2026 Central Ohio String Festival Adjudicated Event! The Orchestra received the top rating of "straight 1s," or "Superior" from every judge!

Congratulations to all of these fine young musicians! Their hard work and dedication has certainly paid off!

The PTO exists to serve the incredible staff and students of Sells. To make the impact that we feel they deserve, WE NEED YOU!

Help us Fund the FUN! Each year the PTO does things like feed teachers, host (free!) events for students, provide teacher grants, and so much more. BUT we can't do it without you! Your financial support (as well as signing up - and following through on your signup - to bring donations) allows us do to these things! Without you, none of the above can happen. If you can't make a donation, who do you know that might be able to? Do you know any businesses that might like to make a donation? We will definitely give them recognition! If you use Venmo, you can make a donation to @SellsMSPTO.
