💙🐻 Connecting classroom learning to our community!
One of our goals at Sylvan Hills High School is helping students become engaged, responsible members of the world around them. Today, students had the opportunity to give back by presenting the Sherwood Animal Shelter with these beautiful birdhouses — designed, built, and painted right here on our campus.
What a meaningful (and fun!) way to support our community while showcasing student creativity and teamwork!
