Greetings Sandburg Families,

The students had a blast at Fridays Run4Funds and ran a collective total of 13,555 laps = 847 miles!  Don't forget, donations are due by Friday, October 11th!  We are close at 89% but not quite at our goal.  Donate Now!

Join us tonight for Sandburg's PTO Meeting in the Library, and hear all that is coming up for the rest of the year.   Including, Sandburg's First Trunk or Treat!  See the flyer below, and sign-up to decorate a trunk or table with friends or family.  

If your students loved the run, then try out The Stride hosted by LPS. This 5k/10K race is more than a run, it's a great way to support Sandburg.

An AMAZING FUN RUN!

Sandburg Elementary Families, what an amazing fun run we had! Thank you to everyone who came out and cheered on the runners! 


We are currently at $53,752.90 toward our school goal of $60,000. Has your student reached their fundraising goal yet? 


Mrs. Brotherton's has raised the most at $4,075.25, but can they be beat?  And Mrs. Gregory's class ran the most laps per student and earns extra recess!

Two grades won the best spirit award, 1st Grade with their Monsters Inc. Sully Costumes and 3rd Grade was Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire - both earning a Spirit Weepul!
