Support Palmer Food Bank
Sherrod Families,
We have begun a food drive for the Palmer Food Bank. Each class is trying to collect 100 cans, bags, or boxes of non-perishable food or basic grocery store items before the 100th Day of School.
We are teaming this year with Swanson Elementary.
Sherrod classrooms will be competing against each other for a chance to win an ice cream sandwich party. The class, at each grade, with the most items collected will win an ice cream party.
Thank you for all of your support in blessing our community!

Message from Nurse Emily
See the checklist below to help determine if your child is too sick to attend school:
- Does your child have a fever of 100 deg F or higher?
- Has your child vomited two or more times in a 24-hour period?
- Does your child have diarrhea?
- Are your child's eyes crusty, bright red, and/or discharging yellow or green fluid (pink eye)?
- If your child complains of a sore throat, is it accompanied by fever, headache, stomachache, or swollen glands?
- Does your child have a persistent, phlegmy cough?
- Does your child have lice (white, translucent eggs the size of a pinpoint on the hair or insects on the scalp)?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please keep your child home from school and consider seeking medical attention. Your child could have a serious or contagious illness. Keep your child home until he or she has been symptom free for at least 24 hours or until a doctor indicates that he or she may return to school. If you have any questions please contact Nurse Emily 761-4103
VIRTUE OF THE WEEK
The virtue this week is KINDNESS. Each week classes will select a student of the week who has demonstrated the week's virtue. Those students will be part of the morning show and get to announce their name at the end of the morning show on Fridays. Look for their names in next weeks newsletter.
Kindness is showing you care, doing some good to make life better for others. Be thoughtful about people's needs. Show love and compassion to someone who is sad or needs your help. When you are tempted to be cruel, to criticize or tease, decide to be kind instead
