Mayor Newsom Visits Sherman

Mayor Newsom visited Sherman ES on Monday, April 14.  Principal Matsuno greeted the mayor and toured him around our school.  Garden Coordinator Linda Myers took him for a spin around our garden and even let gong the gong!  Then he stopped by our keyboarding lab, computer lab, upper grade classrooms to see our great Smart Boards, our art studio and recess yard.  He was most  impressed by our stellar students and terrific teachers!  School Board member Hydra Mendoza joined him on the tour and was amazed at all of the great things that we are doing at Sherman.  Parents were able to chat with the Mayor and bragged about the great work of Principal Matsuno, our teachers and staff. We thank Mayor Newsom and Hydra Mendoza for visiting our school!!  See the pictures...
