Do you have a rising kindergarten student or know someone who does?

SFES wants to extend a warm invitation to all parents and enrolled Kindergartners to Beginner's Night on Wednesday, May 13th from 5-6 pm . We will be sharing important insights and resources to help parents, while students will get an up-close look at a kindergarten classroom and other parts of the school.

***Please note that your child will be assigned to a Kindergarten group while you will remain with school staff to highlight new and important Kindergarten information.***

We can't wait to meet and get to know our newest Tigers!!

What a busy and exciting week at The Ford! 🖤 💛

We celebrated an incredible couple of days honoring our superstar second grader, Lyanna! On Thursday, our school came together for a joyful parade in her honor, filling the day with excitement and pride. Then on Friday, she represented Sherrills Ford at the Special Olympics. Her determination, positivity, and radiant smile continue to inspire our entire school community—we couldn’t be prouder!

Thursday evening brought another celebration as our TA team enjoyed a wonderful night at the TA Banquet. A huge shoutout to our incredible teacher assistant, Mrs. Cheryl Kiser, who was nominated for the Bandys Feeder Bus Driver of the Year 🚌🏆—what an amazing honor!

We wrapped up the week on Saturday night with our annual Father/Daughter Dance 💃, and this year’s glow theme made it extra magical! ✨

It was a full week of celebrations, achievements, and special moments—we loved every minute of it!

We want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate Mrs. Torcasso, Mrs. Troup, and Mrs. Estes for all they do to keep our school running smoothly each and every day. Your hard work, organization, and dedication do not go unnoticed—we truly couldn’t function without you!

Thank you for your constant support of both our staff and students. You make a difference in so many ways, and we are incredibly grateful for all that you do.
