To ensure the success of each classroom at Sherwood, we need 2 room parent volunteers for each classroom. We are still short on some volunteers and need your help. The following rooms still need volunteers:

-Zwrin (2 vacancies)

-Goldsmith (2 vacancies)

The PTO is continuing to grow, and we want you to be a part of it! Your time and skills are greatly appreciated in whatever capacity you can give.

Besides the many volunteer opportunities throughout the year, the following PTO officer positions will be open for the 2025/2026 school year, and some would be ideal with two people sharing the responsibilities.

The following positions are currently open:

1) Kindergarten Welcome Chair [1 Vacancy]

2) Back To School Bash Chair [1 Vacancy]

3) KIND (Kindness, Inclusion, Nurture, Diversity) Pandas Liaisons (K-1 & 2-5) - Partners with Panda Project [2 Vacancies]

Join us on Saturday, September 27, at 8 AM at Ravinia Festival for the FUNd Run!  All proceeds from the FUNd Run provide need-based scholarship opportunities for all District 112 families! This is a rain-or-shine event, and we look forward to seeing you there! There will also be a photo opportunity to take pictures with our very own panda, Bamboo!

As always, the PTO is seeking a parent volunteer for this event. 

Join us on October 25 from 2-4 pm for Sherwood PTO's Fall Fest! This is a free event for our Sherwood community! We are asking for a donation to the Moriane Food Pantry upon entering. They need salad dressing, oil, seasonings, condiments, and pasta sauce. A low sensory time will be available from 2-2:20 (only available for children with sensory needs at this time). Enjoy slides, a donut truck, a haunted house, and fall-themed arts and crafts projects!

As always, the PTO is seeking parent volunteers for this event.

Did you know that the PTO actively organizes programs and events to enrich our students' learning and generate essential funds for our school? The money we raise directly enables us to provide teacher grants, fulfill teacher wish lists, and support field trips and assemblies, among many other important initiatives! Your involvement makes a difference!

I've heard people mention teacher wishlists. What are those?

The PTO strives to grant as many teacher wishes as possible during the school year. In past years, we have purchased Chromebooks, guided reading sets, group work tables, garden planters, a stationary bike, a music system for the gym, and other classroom needs. The purchase of supplemental equipment and the sponsorship of programs are only possible through the generosity and enthusiastic support of Sherwood families, thanks to our PTO fundraisers. 

Each week, we will introduce you to a new or returning staff member from our Sherwood community! This week, we would like to introduce Mr. Matt Norris! Mr. Norris is one of our PE teachers at Sherwood! Welcome, Mr. Norris! We are so excited to have you!
