✏️ Important School Survey

We ask that you complete THIS SURVEY by tomorrow, Thursday, March 24th.

✏️ This Week In Our Classrooms
Our preschoolers conducted an experiment to observe how water travels! It's called the Walking Water Experiment. First we did a whole class experiment and then the preschoolers did one all by themselves. One preschooler's feedback: "Wow, that's so cool!"

Here are a few photos from our recent XP Expo!
📚 Read Across America Activities
Our activities for Read Across America month continued with "Idiom Day". Students and staff were encouraged to dress up as their favorite idiom... and we were not disappointed!
🎶 Band Alumni Visit
Sherman School band alumni came to play with the band. Kids from three different high schools came to talk about high school and continuing music! It was awesome!
🎼 Regionals
We are so lucky to have Mr. Carlone and Mr. Trinchillo teaching our students and instilling a love of music. The number of students from The Sherman School who were accepted into this elite performance is a testament to the quality of music education at our school, and it shows how much our school values music education for our kids!
