Month of the Military Child
Sherwood School April 2020
Principal's Note: Support Our Military Kids!
Sherwood School is proud to celebrate the Month of the Military Child this April. We look forward to honoring our military children and coming together as an entire Sherwood Community. We have many exciting opportunities to celebrate remotely. This year's theme is, Hug a Hero! Let's paint the town purple together as we commemorate the Month of the Military Child at Sherwood School.
Panda Pride,
Rachel
