 Three groups of Shelton students were selected as winners in the 2008 Texas Media Awards (TMA) competition. Winners were announced April 17 in an awards ceremony at the Dallas Convention Center. The annual competition, sponsored by the Texas Library Association, promotes excellence in amateur media production.
Shelbi Hall, Margaret Heck and Shelley Hollingsworth won first place in the grades 9 - 12 division with their clay animation, "Animal Olympics." The video recording "The Adventures of Mega Butterly and Cocoon Girl: Courage Gone Wrong" took first place in the grades 3-5 division. Students involved with the project were Zachary Goldstein, Caroline Hunt, Isabel Kennedy, Kaleigh Kitchens, Charlie Lange, Samantha Lopez, Matthew Vines, Amy Whitaker, Jacob Whitby and Jack Wilson. The video "What's Your Habit?" took third place in the grades 3 -5 division. Casey Clair, Michael Grimme
r, MaKenzie Hagood, Artem Harrison, Allison Herchuk, Emily Hooper, Adrianna Luedtke, Sean O'Hare, Julia Rosenblatt, Zachary Schwartz, Reese Walter and Sam Wiggins worked as a team on the video.
Shelton faculty members Jerry Averill and Amanda Dockweiler encouraged students with their entries.
Shelton librarian Margaret Simmons was instrumental in having students submit their projects. "We've got some wonderful talent at Shelton, and the students were extremely proud of their teamwork."

CAARTE
is a collaborative program between UT Southwestern Medical Center, UT
Dallas Center for Brain Health, and Shelton School in Dallas. The
program is committed to investigating innovative non-medication
treatments for ADHD that may reduce or eliminate the need for
medication. As part of the CAARTE research program, children showing
symptoms of ADHD and their families are offered no-cost interventions,
including parent education and attention and strategic learning
training.
CAARTE has now embarked on three research studies for children ages 3 - 18 who are diagnosed with or at risk for ADHD (i.e., the child has symptoms of ADHD or has a family member with ADHD) :
- PIPES (Preschool Intervention and Parent Education Study)
- SCOPE (School-Aged Community Parent Education) Study
-
SAILS (School-Aged Intervention and Learning Study)
