Summer is coming!
Community Quote of the Month
RESPONSIBILITY (Taking ownership of thoughts, feelings and behaviors) is the Emotional Wellness focus in our children's classrooms during May and June. 

“The time is always right to do what is right” 
                                                     – Martin Luther King, Jr.

‘I must do something’ always solves more problems than ‘Something must be done.’”         

                                                     – Author Unknown

MAY UPDATE
May is a very busy month. We don't have a regular APT meeting in May but rather an end of the year luncheon for both our old and new board members. Here are a few upcoming events. 
  • Sheridan's Field Day is on May 30th 
  • LAST DAY OF SCHOOL is June 6th 
Please remember to join the APT during the summer registration process. Our goal is for 100% of Sheridan families to be members of the APT. Please note EVERYONE will need to fill out a new Directory Release Form this year as we are offering the option of including email addresses for the first time. Scroll down for more about volunteer opportunities. 

For more information about community events in the weeks and months ahead visit the community links below and the Green Backpack. 

If you have any questions, suggestions or ideas that you would like to ask or share please reach out to me anytime.
