PRINCIPAL’S CORNER
Ms. Raboli has met with Sherwood Friends Church, which is open to the school installing a large play structure. Hoping to move ahead with the project.

Parent Hadar Ferris mentioned an altercation that happened this afternoon at the bottom of the driveway & Main St. An adult driving out of the school yelled at a mom whose young child had crossed. Hadar asked about crossing guards at that location. Ms. Raboli said that crossing guards would be helpful both there and at the Main & Sunset intersection; proposed that PAC might help find volunteers. The PAC board later discussed this option. PAC serves events; a crossing guard position would need to report to the school office. So though PAC can promote the need, board members agree that volunteers would need to report to the office.
