Sherwood Updates
Dear Sherwood Families,
We had another fabulous week at Sherwood! Tomorrow, December 17th, our Sherwood Robotics teams will be competing in Robot Revolution at Northwood Middle School. We are so proud of our students' dedication and enthusiasm over the past few months as they prepared for the competition this weekend. It was amazing to observe the teamwork, problem solving and critical thinking that went on during lunch and recess as they tested their robots. Thank you to our Robotics coaches: Ms. Flinchum, Ms. Huxhold, Ms. Kodroff and Mrs. Tortorello; your leadership and time is greatly appreciated! We hope everyone has fun!

Innovation Enrichment Updates
Innovation Learning is pleased to share some spotlight information about a few of our enrichment providers. Each week we will share a little bit more information about opportunities that your child could experience. This week we are spotlighting Pure Tennis, Amazing Minds, and The Village Music School classes.
Pure Tennis offers a professionally coached after-school tennis program. Utilizing the USTA’s 10 & Under Tennis format, our certified staff will bring portable nets, rackets and balls to your school and teach your child the FUN-damentals of tennis in a safe and recreational setting. Tony Farnum supervises the program to ensure that your child not only has a positive learning experience but also receives high-quality instruction! We bring the game of tennis to the kids!
Amazing Minds was established in 2001 and was developed to encourage the intellectual, creative, and social growth of each child. There is an emphasis on learning by doing. The curriculum weaves in ALL academic areas through participation in fun games, activities, experiments and crafts. Your child will be exposed to a wide variety of educational topics often not covered during school hours. All learning takes place in small groups. Classes are open to all types of learners in a judgement-free environment. Bonus, this is a screen free curriculum.
The Village Music School offers classes in guitar and piano for students K-5th. All types of music will be included as part of the program so that students get a well-rounded artistic experience. The music clubs will pick up where school music programs leave off, offering a chance for students to get that extra attention and increased opportunity to perform. Learning to play the piano and guitar brings out confidence within a student. Your child will be performing songs for you on the very first day of class.
Remember that enrichment enrollment is still open, but seats are filling quickly. Please see the catalog for the days and times for each class. The enrollment deadline is January 13th.
