Sherwood News ~ October
Health and Safety
We have had a great start to our school year at Sherwood Heights Elementary School. In addition to the amazing learning happening in our classrooms this school year we have had an opportunity to:
- Participate in hearing screenings and a bus evacuation drill to promote safety while riding to and from school which were provided through the InterMountain Educational Service District and by Mid Columbia Bus Company.
- Also have our students participated in vision screenings thanks to volunteers from the Pendleton Lions Club.
- Practice their fire drill skills with our monthly fire drills.
- Have the Happy Canyon and Round-Up courts join us for our welcome back assembly.

October will be the first month of our one time per month snack sales.
