Outdoor Pursuits Field Trip!
This week the Outdoor Pursuits class got to go on a hiking adventure to document wild bird populations in the foothills of the Cascades at Hopkins Demonstration Forest. Students went on a 2.5 mile trek through hardwood forests, Douglas Fir groves, riparian zones, and reprod patches to try and capture bird sounds using the Merlin Bird ID app. The trip culminated at lunch when students got to eat by the campfire, and roast marshmallows. It was an amazing trip filled with laughter and groans as they hiked the hills.

This year, Sherwood Middle School is excited to team up with TMG Cares, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting our community, to launch a Sock Drive for Foster Kids.
We will be collecting socks through November 8. SMS Flight Time classes will participate by collecting both youth and adult-sized socks. We invite community members to contribute by dropping off new socks at the SMS front office. Students will bring socks to their Flight Time classes, ensuring that we gather as many contributions as possible!
Let's make this sock drive a huge success and show our support for foster children!
This project is in honor of Isaac Schweitzer, as part of our commitment to community service through our Sherwood Middle School Service Club.
