Sherwood Updates
Dear Sherwood Families,
This week was full of excitement at Sherwood! We celebrated the 100th day of school on Monday and our 1st graders walked the halls with canes and hunched backs so our entire Sherwood community could see what it looks like to be 100 years old. What a fun experience!
On Tuesday we celebrated Valentine's Day by wearing festive colors and participating in a service project. Our students partnered with their school ‘buddies’ and packed “Breakfast Bags” for homeless & kids in foster care who rely heavily on the meals provided at school. When school is out of session for the Spring Break week, many kids struggle and worry about where to get their next meal; these items will provide nourishment to get through the week-long break. All items were provided by our amazing Sherwood PTO. Thank you also for your food donations that will go towards food for Fill a Heart for Kids in the future. A HUGE thank you to Leslie Cohen for spearheading this endeavor.
Please do not forget to send in those iRead forms on Wednesday, February 22nd! We are so proud of our amazing Sherwood readers!
Please take a moment to share your feedback with us through the 5Essentials survey. Your opinion matters to us! CLICK HERE
Last but not least, our Carnival is right around the corner and we still need volunteers. Please sign up HERE.
Have a wonderful long weekend!
Panda Pride,
Rachel & Kevin

Book Fair 2023
The Sherwood PTO is elated to be hosting our first Literati Book Fair the week of March 13th! To streamline the process as much as possible, we ask that you purchase gift cards online via this link: Sherwood PTO Literati Book Fair 2023- Link for Gift Cards.
Students and families can continue to support the Book Fair at home by shopping their wide selection on this site: Sherwood PTO Literati Book Fair 2023 Link or by purchasing a monthly book subscription from Literati Kids Book Clubs. The Literati Kids Book Club is like a Book Fair in a box! Enjoy their curated selections and return the books you don't want in the box they came in. You will only get charged for the books you keep. Easy peasy!
This company rocks and we can't wait for your Pandas to get to experience these books in person!
***Please be on the lookout for the Volunteer Sign Up list, we will send this after the Carnival ends to avoid any confusion***
