Sherman Elementary Faces Crowding and Small Cafeteria
Mrs. Hilda Stiehl notes four second grades at Sherman the most ever while third grades and kindergartens are too large. There are no rooms to divide classes and the cafeteria is the oldest in Middletown area schools, forcing about two hours to feed all pupils. Students eat too early or too late, rushing through meals. The plea is for more space to eat and learn.
