Jewell Woodson has gone above and beyond this year in her virtual teaching position. She teaches students at Sory Elementary who have severe and profound disabilities, as well as medically fragile students. Woodson works hard to create lessons to meet students’ individualized goals outlined within their Individual Educational Plan. Moreover, she communicates daily with the parents over Google Meets, discussing the needs of the students and the families. She holds individualized classes tailored for her students, and Sory Elementary School Principal Steve Traw expressed that Jewell overcame the virtual teaching learning curve and has done well with virtual teaching because she genuinely cares about her student s success.

Sherman couple Heidi and Phillip Scheibmeir are well known educators in the Sherman and Denison school systems. This month, the pair, who have five children together including their triplets, will celebrate 20 years of marriage.
But many people who know the Scheibmeirs don t know that the high school sweethearts were broken up for years before they eventually made their way back to each other and down the aisle.
In fact, Phillip Scheibmeir was studying for the priesthood at one point.
And even they can t seem to agree on how things started to get serious for the pair who had known one another for years.

The city of Sherman could soon issue debt for future projects down the road. The Sherman City Council recently gave city staff guidance to look into issuing up to $30 million of debt ahead of expected road and facility projects.
The move comes as city leaders have considered issuing debt ahead of schedule to take advantage of historic-low borrowing rates that are projected to increase.
After determining there was an appetite in January, city staff presented a list of possible projects to determine how big that appetite was. We talked through the theory of the good, the bad and the ugly of issuing debt earlier than we would normally issue it, and this is really a continuation of that discussion a few weeks ago, City Manager Robby Hefton said.

It isn t the same old A Christmas Carol everyone has seen a dozen times or more.
Artistic Director Josh Harris said the story is centered around a family named Caroll who gather every year at Christmas and perform A Christmas Carol. As the play opens, the audience meets the Carolls at the end of year in which the family has suffered three different deaths. It is how this family is able to gather together after loss and show each other the true meaning of Christmas and the true meaning of redemption, Harris said.
