Photo Series at HP Public Library

Students and their families are invited to stop by the Highland Park Public Library during the month of June and check out Insight Advocacy's photo series, Dynamic Today with Unlimited Potential.

A project featuring Highland Park youth in photo recreations as iconic Chicago legends, Former President Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Ida B. Wells. There is also a group photo of a few of the Insight Advocacy youth as their amazing selves.

Each photo has been paired with books that children are encouraged to check out to learn more about the featured legends.

Creating visibility, inclusion and community.

Hey Parents!! While the June 1st deadline has now passed, the link to sales will remain open for a while longer UNTIL they run out of supply kits. So make sure to get those orders in if you haven't already!

Please visit www.northshorecoalition.org to order teacher approved classroom supply kits for the upcoming academic year.

Once ordered your student's supply kit will be delivered directly to their classroom in the fall. Nothing else to do!

Upon checkout, there is an option to donate towards a school supply kit for a Sherwood student in need.

You can find the supply list here.

* The PTO wants to make this option available for all Sherwood families; If you need financial assistance to order school supplies,

please reach out to

The Earth thank you for recycling! Recycle everyday. | Novelty christmas, Holiday, Christmas

Hey Pandas! Guess what??? Because of your amazing efforts during our recycling project, Sherwood placed #14 out of over 530 schools actively reporting!!! We also ended up recycling 387 pounds of plastic!!!! To add to that, because of the efforts of ALL of the participating schools, collectively we recycled 323,586 lbs of plastic and kept this out of our landfills! While we didn't win, we should ALL be proud of our efforts and the difference we made in the environment.

Way to go, Sherwood!!!!

We plan on continuing these efforts next year and would love for our Sherwood families to help us with a headstart this spring and during the summer. All you have to do is weigh your plastic bags, record the weight, and then recycle them as usual at participating store locations such as Mariano's, Jewel-Osco, or Target. Make sure to keep track of your efforts! If you'd like to turn your weight totals in each month, please feel free to email them to Jennifer Broderick at jenniferbroderick08@gmail.com

District 112 Substitute Teaching Opportunities

Parents and Community Members,

Are you looking for a flexible job where you can choose your own schedule, make a difference in students' lives, network with other teachers, expand your skills, and help the community? Being a substitute/guest teacher in D112 could be for you! Guest teachers are an essential component of our day-to-day instruction. They help us sustain instructional excellence during the absence of our regular staff.

If you are interested in guest teaching, we do need you to have an Illinois Professional Educator License or an Illinois Substitute Teaching License to qualify to be a guest teacher.

Click here to apply online to be considered for a guest teacher position. Click "start an application" and complete the form, indicating your interest in a guest/substitute position. We periodically review candidates' online credentials/applications to make additions to our guest teacher pool. If you are being considered as an addition to our guest teacher pool, you will be contacted for an interview.

If you have any questions, please contact Patty Samuelian, Guest Teacher Coordinator at 224-765-3042, or Jessica DuBois, Executive Assistant in the Personnel Department at 224-765-3041.
