Thank You!
Dear Sherwood Community,
Our first week back with students was incredible! It was wonderful to hear a little buzz in the hallways and chatter in our classrooms. Our students picked up right where we left off. Thank you to our Sherwood staff for making this transition very smooth!
On behalf of the Sherwood staff, we would like to thank our Sherwood PTO for the delicious shmorgishborg of snacks delivered to school on Monday! We are so grateful to be welcomed back to the building by such an amazing community who genuinely cares for all of us!
Wash your hands.
Wear a mask.
Watch your distance.
Stay safe everyone!
Panda Pride,
Rachel & Kevin
