So grateful to be back in school today! We love the annual traditions our students experience this time of year. At Sherman Elementary, our kindergarten students participate in baking, creating ornaments, and scooping reindeer food. These experiences allow families to join in the fun! Not only does baking strengthen math skills, but it’s also a wonderful opportunity to create lasting memories.
