Due to the statewide learning curve for schools adjusting to the new “Bound” scheduling program, the Shelton, Gibbon and Wood River athletic posters, and the Shelton school calendar, production and delivery has been delayed. Bear with us, and the schools, as they navigate through this new process that all schools in the state have been encouraged to use. The Clipper will produce the posters and calendars as soon as the final approval of schedules is determined.
