A Message from Principal Woofter A Message from Principal Woofter

May has flown by and it is hard to believe that we will be celebrating Memorial Day weekend already!


We are wrapping up our Food Drive! Thank you for generously donating items to share with the Willowbrook Food Pantry to distribute to individuals in need. We are very close to meeting our goal of 650 pounds, so if you would still like to bring in items, we will be taking donations until the end of the day tomorrow.


In addition to several exciting field trips that are going on this week, our third through fifth grade students completed their Math state testing. We are so proud of their hard work and perseverance in finishing these assessments! Even though the school year is winding down, our students and teachers are continuing to engage in learning activities, finish projects, and review the content that they have been working on all year.


Make sure to review information being sent home by our teachers to keep you updated on opportunities and activities taking place in these last few weeks of school!


Kindly,

Sarah

Save the Date! Spring Fest, 5/30 Save the Date! Spring Fest, 5/30

A Legendary Farewell: Bruce Maplethorpe Retires After 53 Years of Service! A Legendary Farewell: Bruce Maplethorpe Retires After 53 Years of Service!

zoom_out_map

After more than five decades behind the wheel, Bruce Maplethorpe, Sherwood School District’s longest-serving employee and beloved bus driver, is taking his final ride. Bruce began his incredible journey in 1972—as a senior in high school—when he was asked to help by picking up students and bringing them to school. That one-time favor turned into a remarkable 53-year career of dedication, care, and community spirit.


Let’s put this into perspective:

750,000+ miles driven – That’s over three times the distance to the moon!
Over 1 million student rides safely delivered to and from school.
A lifetime of commitment to the students and families of Sherwood.


Bruce has truly been the heartbeat of our transportation team, always showing up with a warm smile and unwavering reliability. His legacy is one of kindness, consistency, and quiet heroism.

As he prepares for retirement, we invite you to help us celebrate this living legend! Share your memories, kind words, or fun stories by emailing transport@sherwood.k12.or.us. We’ll make sure Bruce receives every note before his final day on June 10th. Let’s send him off with the love and recognition he so deeply deserves.
