A Message from the Principal |

Dear Sheridan Families,
Wow has this week been busy! It has been incredible to see all of you at all of our events! The Music Show was fantastic! Thank you to Mrs. Balinao and Mrs. Thornton! Below you will find links to both performances in case you missed them. It was wonderful to see all of you roaming our halls on Thursday night for Family Sharing Night, as well! Above, you can also see a photo of our “Principal for the Day,” Marly Lynch. This was one of the many auction items with Spirit of 67 this year and Marly did a great job welcoming families to both music shows, running announcements, and reading to a Kindergarten class!
Important Upcoming Dates:
PreK-4th Food Drive - M-F, May 16-20th
Let's work together to provide food for those in need. Sheridan items to collect are:
Cereal-Sugar-Granola bars......Let's go Sheridan!!!
Exploration Day ~ Friday, June 3rd ~ 8:30-10:30am
Exploration day is here!! During this event, your child will have the opportunity to ‘explore’ fun and exciting classes that pique their interest. There will be three 25- minute sessions during the day. Our hope is that they will explore various areas of passions, talents and interests. Please look through this list of class descriptions to see what classes your child might be interested in taking!
