Better Hearing and Speech Month
SISD
Sherman ISD is celebrating Better Hearing and Speech Month in the month of May and highlighted our Speech Language Pathologists. Better Hearing and Speech Month was started by the American Academy of Otolaryngology as a time to raise awareness about communication disorders and available treatment options that can improve the quality of life for those who experience problems speaking or hearing.
In Sherman ISD we have eight Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) and six SLP Assistants (SLPAs) that serve the district and work diligently with the students that receive speech-language pathologists services. These individuals go above and beyond to ensure our students are successful. Many of the SLPs attend physician appointments with students and their parents to help advocate and communicate the concerns in areas such as voice, craniofacial abnormalities, or cleft palates.

Awful weather forced the Kentucky General Assembly to hold off on session activity during the week of Feb. 15. We returned to Frankfort on Monday to get back to work for you.
I hope you and your family kept safe from the heavy ice and snowstorms. Our region was hit real hard, and a majority of us lost power for a long time. We really can t say enough about the workers who keep our roads clear and the lights on. Stories from all over included counties h helping other counties, emergency efforts to get food and water to people without, and a lot more. Thank you to all involved in helping.
