🐾 Sherwood Broadband FAQ: Service Drops
You may have noticed flags or crews working near your property as Sherwood Broadband continues expanding our fiber network. Here are a few common questions about service drops:
📍 What is a service drop? Do I need to schedule it?
A service drop takes fiber from the street to the outside of your home. No scheduling is needed, and you do not need to be home.
🌱 What about my landscaping?
Our crews do their best to minimize disruption. If needed, a shallow trench may be dug to install the service drop. If you have concerns about your landscaping, you may request to be present when the work is completed.
🏠 Can I share a service drop with my neighbor?
No. Each service drop must be installed on the property it serves.
🚩 When can I remove the flags from utility locates?
Once your service drop is complete, you can remove the flags.
And speaking of making connections… 🐶❤️ Meet Sergio! Sergio is looking for his forever home through START Rescue. Maybe his next connection will be with you!

🚶♀️🚲 One week until International Walk to School Day!
On Wednesday, October 7, students, families, and staff at Middleton Elementary School will celebrate International Walk to School Day by walking, biking, and rolling to school. 🎉
The event is part of Sherwood’s ongoing Safe Routes to School program, which works to make it safer and easier for students to walk and bike to school.
One of the newest safety improvements near Middleton Elementary is the Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon at SW Sunset Boulevard and SW Timbrel Lane. The beacon helps provide a safer way for students and families to cross Sunset Boulevard.
If you're driving near Middleton Elementary on the morning of October 7, please plan for increased pedestrian activity:
🔸 Slow down and obey school zone speed limits
🔸 Watch for students walking, biking, and rolling
🔸 Stop when the pedestrian beacon is activated
🔸 Stay alert and avoid distractions
🔸 Allow a little extra time for your morning commute
Let's help make sure everyone gets to school safely!

🌟 Women-Owned Business Spotlight: Birdie Hugs
Sherwood is known for being a great place to raise a family. 💕 And we’re proud to spotlight a local woman-owned business that is helping make that possible for families in our community.
Located off Century Drive, Birdie Hugs is a heart-centered, holistic preschool and pre-kindergarten program serving children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old.
We asked Birdie Hugs’ owner what inspired her to start the business, and her answer was simple: the children themselves. ❤️
Her vision was to create more than a childcare program - a place where children feel safe to be curious, supported enough to be themselves, and encouraged to discover what they’re capable of.
At Birdie Hugs, the focus is on the whole child through early learning, independence, mindfulness, movement, affirmations, creativity and emotional development. Every part of the environment is intentionally designed to help children feel safe, supported and confident as they grow.
And her advice to women considering starting their own business?
✨ Don’t wait until everything is perfect to begin. Start with what you have, learn as you go, and trust yourself enough to take the first step.
We’re proud to celebrate the women-owned businesses that contribute to the strength, character and community of Sherwood.
