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 (1 Vacancy)

Room Parent Volunteers partner with Sherwood Teachers to volunteer in the classroom (E.g., Holiday Door decorating and service projects), communicate school/class happenings to class parents/guardians via email/text chains, and take opportunities to show appreciation to our teachers throughout the school year.

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 position is open for the 2025/2026 school year.

The following position is currently open:

Back to School Bash Chair [1 Vacancy] - This volunteer must not be a fifth-grade parent. The Back to School Bash Chair would coordinate with Mr. Saunders and Ms. Bertana on the Back to School Bash. They would hire vendors for the event, design signage, and assist with advertising the event. They would also work with co-presidents on this event.

Please contact Stephani Briskman or Michelle Brown (sherwoodptocopresidents@gmail.com) for more information. 

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. Please click the button below to volunteer or sign up on our website.

Join the Sherwood PTO Co-Presidents on Friday afternoons from 1-4 pm at Double Cup to come share ideas, chat with members of the PTO, or check in to see what's happening! Open to all Sherwood families and staff.

Let's create school unity and pride by wearing our Sherwood gear on Fridays! Don't forget to take a picture and tag us on Instagram!

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! 

Not all of the PTO's events and fundraisers need to originate from the PTO board. Do you have an idea that you'd like to share? A new event that you think would be a hit? Please share with us! Our PTO is only as successful as its volunteers! Feel free to email Stephani or Michelle or join us for a Panda Pop-In and share your ideas! 

Your involvement makes a difference!
