Power of Parents Workshop

Attention Middle School and High School Parents!

Do you feel awkward about talking with you teen about underage drinking?
Do you know that 74% of kids turn to their parents for guidance on drinking?

That's why Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) created the workshop "POWER OF PARENTS."

The workshop will provide tips and expert resources so parents can talk effectively about alcohol with teens and support safer communities.

We are bringing the Power of Parents workshop to Sherman School on February 29th, 6:00 pm at the school cafateria. The session will be 30-45 minutes long. Light snacks and refreshments will be served.

If you have any questions, please contact Joanna Ribisl at jribisl@gmail.com or 860-355-9151.

Our Mission

Improve and maintain safety for all users of State and Town roads in Sherman by reducing unsafe and irresponsible driving practices.




Who We Are

As a result of growing concern expressed in written and verbal complaints, by Sherman residents, the Sherman Traffic Safety Work Group was established to examine the issues and investigate, evaluate and implement some solutions or improvements.

Complaints ranged from excessive speeding and illegal passing, passing stopped school buses, rolling through stop signs, racing motorcycles and texting/cell phone usage while driving and other unsafe/irresponsible driving practices are all dangerous situations that have been experienced throughout Sherman.

Within Sherman, three major State Roads; Routes 37, 39 and 55 and other Town and private roads, with difficult curves, hills, limited shoulders and blind intersections, are frequently traveled by people commuting to work and school, and by seasonal/weekend residents.

Traffic is not limited to automobile traffic; there is also a large population of bikers (both motorcycles and bicycles), runners/walkers, hikers and school kids. Additionally, there is other pedestrian traffic at the crosswalks by the Sherman School and Library/Old Store.

Keeping everyone safe is of paramount importance to all and the key focus of this Work Group.
