It’s hard to believe we’re already into October! We enjoyed our first community walk today. We took advantage of the mild weather and practiced making sound maps. As long as the weather remains this lovely, we will plan on walks every Friday.

We also met with our Grade 9 buddies today! After discussing the emotions that certain scenarios could cause and choosing strategies to help ourselves regulate, the students spent some time getting to know their buddies better by playing card games with them.

In Math, we have been rounding numbers. This week we will learn more about decimals in the context of money. In ELAL, we will continue learning about the parts of speech as well as studying poetry. We will soon start a novel study and we will also start incorporating Readers’ Theatre into our weekly routines to help build confidence and fluency skills when reading aloud. Our Matter unit will begin soon in Science, with a focus on waste management. We are continuing to learn about explorers in Social Studies.


Important Reminders:

  • Monday, October 5 - School Council Meeting
  • Monday, October 12 - Thanksgiving Day, No School
  • Monday, October 19 - No School for students
  • Thursday, October 22 - Picture Retakes


Dear Sherwood Families,

In 2027, Sherwood School will proudly celebrate 70 years of learning, belonging, and community. To mark this milestone, we are partnering with Calgary-based Blank Page Studio for an Artist-in-Residence project that will bring students together to help create a permanent outdoor mural. Painted in spring 2027, the mural will honour Sherwood’s history and community while reflecting the voices, identities and hopes of today’s students and looking toward the future. Your donation will help us create more than a mural, it will create a lasting legacy designed with our students, for our community, and for generations to come. Please donate HERE.

Thank you,

Brenna Fraser, Principal

Thank You for Making Sher-Burger a Success: A huge thank you to all of our families, staff, community partners, and especially our incredible volunteers who helped make Sher-Burger possible! Whether you helped set up, served food, cooked at the BBQ, sold raffle tickets, supervised activities, cleaned up, donated items, or simply jumped in wherever you were needed, we are incredibly grateful for your time and support.

Events like Sher-Burger take many helping hands, and we could not have done it without you. Thank you for helping us bring our Sherwood community together for an evening of food, fun, and connection!

Sher-Burger 2026–27 Feedback Survey: Thank you for attending and/or supporting Sher-Burger! Now that the burgers have been eaten and the raffle prizes have been claimed, we would love to hear from you.

We would appreciate your feedback to help us understand what worked well, what could be improved, and whether Sher-Burger is an event our community would like to see return next year. The survey is short and should only take a few minutes to complete. Please take a moment to complete our Sher-Burger Feedback Survey: LINK
