Updates from Crystal
“Don’t stop… you’ve got more in you than that. Keep moving. You’ve got more in you than that. Your very best. Keep going. Don’t quit. Your very best. Don’t quit till you’ve got nothing left…. He’s heavy; I don’t have any more strength.
You are the most influential player on this team. If you walk around defeated, so will they. Don’t tell me you can’t give me more than I’ve been seeing.”
December is almost here! The holidays are tough for families and most December months in schools can be tough for teachers. Reflecting on this year thus far, I could not be more proud of our staff! We have stuck together in tough situations with challenging students, challenging health concerns of staff families, and student families. I appreciate the way you support one another and me, as your leader. Sherwood is a GREAT place to be.
Now it's game time-You are the most influential player on this team. If you walk around defeated, so will they. I promise to give you my absolute best , and I expect the same for each of you! YOU ARE GAME CHANGERS! LET'S DO THIS!
Sincerely, Coach Magers :)

Your holiday invite is HERE! Please RSVP at the link and sign up for a dish to bring. Here is the ‘message from the host’ (it’s hard to see on the invite-once clicked you will see all this info below).
You are invited to the Sherwood Holiday Party!! Please sign up to bring a dish (main dishes-meats, sides, desserts, drinks, or other). We would love for you to bring your significant other! Adults only (no kiddos please). Also bring your own adult beverage if you wish.
We will also have a fun gift exchange so please bring a gift to participate. (if your significant other wants to play they can bring one too). The value of your gift needs to be $15. It doesn't have to be holiday themed but it can be. It's always fun to bring something that YOU would love to get! You never know what you might end up with and we hope it's something you LOVE.
