Hello, neighbor! Welcome to the Sherwood Sun weekly newsletter. By now, you should have received your very first monthly print edition in your mailbox — and we couldn't have done it without our readers!

In this week's edition, we cover the new comprehensive plan for Old Town Sherwood, the Bowmen House project returning to Sherwood High School, and the Sherwood City Council's meeting this week. We also have a Q&A with our publisher, Matt Nelson, who makes the Sherwood Sun possible.

After that, check out the Sherwood Bookstore's new column on best reads for March and bookish events, and learn how students can apply for this year's Maid Marian Court — and possibly win a scholarship.
