Birthday Books
The Birthday Book Program offers a way for you to celebrate your child's birthday and make a contribution to the Sherwood IMC. In the past few years many fine additions were made to the IMC and our collection has benefitted greatly thanks to your generosity.
If you would like to participate this year, please fill out this Birthday Book Form and send a check to the IMC, made out to Sherwood School:   We will help your child select a book and a insert a name plate  inside the chosen book.  We thank you very much for your support of the IMC!
