Sherwood Updates

Hello Sherwood Families,

In collaboration with our amazing PTO, this year we will be focusing on a service aspect during each holiday celebration. Although our Halloween parade was canceled today due to the rain, we were able to engage in little indoor mini parades and we partnered with "Dancing While Cancering- The Maddie Kramer Foundation." This is a local organization that helps bring joy to the inpatient hospital experience for children with cancer. In order to help brighten patients' spirits, today our students wrote encouraging letters to patients and put together fun bedside craft kits. Our Pandas continue to learn about the importance of showing compassion and kindness towards others and this was a very sweet and thoughtful way to give back and support patients battling cancer. You can learn more about this organization by visiting: Dancing While Cancering- The Maddie Kramer Foundation

Pammy and Scott Kramer, the parents behind "Dancing While Cancering" know the value and appreciation of this work first hand and want everyone at Sherwood to know how grateful they are for this help. Thank you all!!

Panda Pride,

Rachel & Kevin

Thank you to all of our families and staff who attended and/or donated candy and toys to support Fall Fest. To say the event was a success is an understatement...the event was FABOOOLOUS!!! Thank you to our fantastic PTO for what feels like the first year of an annual tradition for our Sherwood community!!!

We are elated to report that our PTO dropped off all of the toys collected at Fall Fest to Lurie Children’s Hospital this morning! The donations went right to the pediatric oncology department. Thank you all for your support and generosity.
