Sherman community as esteemed alumni! Please
stay in touch - we look forward to hearing about
your future endeavors and successes!!
Many, many thanks!
Thank you to our entire

a great success! Together, we welcomed a new
class of kindergarteners and promoted a class of 5th
graders; we met our new principal; we marched
proudly in the Chinese New Year Parade; we had fun
with our community at our Fall Carnival; our
students raised their voices at our Winter Musicale,
Black History Month celebration and Spring Sing; we
showed off our garden and some hip sustainable
designs at our Spring Garden Party; the teachers and
students started up some lively Book Club
discussions on the third floor; the PTA led a
variety of successful fundraisers to support our
school; the Sherman grown-ups enjoyed a night out at
the Annual Silent Auction; Los Tiburones started
their illustrious musical career (there's got to be
a Grammy for Best New Parent Band); the students
continued to fill the halls with their beautiful
art; our Parent Coaches kicked off (literally) their
first year...and much, much more!!
What a terrific 2008-09 school
year! We wish everyone a fun and relaxing
summer!

GLO After-school at
Sherman
GLO HISTORY -
In 1982, a group of working parents from West Portal
Elementary School who needed safe before and afterschool
programming established West Portal C.A.R.E., Inc. The
organization’s humble beginnings had less than 50
children enrolled. Over 20 years later, in August 2005,
the organization was renamed Growth & Learning
Opportunities (GLO). Growth & Learning Opportunities
maintains its private non-prot status and community
based family services. The organization operates six
licensed before and after-school programs located in San
Francisco public schools.
UNIQUE QUALITIES ABOUT GLO AT
SHERMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - At all the schools GLO
is in partnership with, there is a long term commitment
from the organization. GLO’s partnership with Sherman
School has a goal to bring a quality afterschool program
available for all Sherman Elementary School students
provided by GLO in the Fall of 2010. For the next three
years, GLO will work diligently to create a strong
foundation for a sustainable program through joint
activities, special events, and partnership between the
GLO Director and SFUSD Excel Program Coordinator. The
process will ensure a respectful and culturally
competent program for children and families as well as
viable situation for GLO to provide services. The
process and outcomes will provide exciting and unique
opportunities for everyone in the school community.
Who will be the GLO Site
Director at Sherman? Beth Guy has worked for
GLO for the past 8 years. She started as a teacher
assistant at the Alice Fong Yu location. She worked 3
years as the Assistant Site Director at West Portal
Elementary and Director of the GLO Summer Program for
two years. She is extremely excited to begin her Site
Directorship at Sherman Elementary! Beth loves to
travel, and tries to make it to Europe at least once a
year to visit with her family. On her spare time, Beth
coaches club volleyball and enjoys spending time with
her friends.

Congratulations to Ms.
Trinh on being recognized as one of this year's Teachers
of the Month awarded by Mayor Newsom!
In 2006, Mayor Gavin Newsom established the first of its
kind San Francisco Mayor’s Teacher of the Month (MTM)
Award to recognize outstanding San Francisco public
school teachers for their dedication, professionalism,
and work on behalf of our City’s young people. Teachers
receiving the award are nominated by the community –
parents, youth, educators, administrators, and other
community members – for excellence in their classroom,
their school, and their City.
This year, Sherman's own Ms. Trinh was awarded the June
Teacher of the Month from Mayor Newsom.
Congratulations to Ms. Trinh and thank you for your
excellent work!
And thank you to ALL of our excellent Sherman
teachers and staff for the tremendous dedication and
energy you give to our students and our school every
day! We appreciate you all!
