SUBJECT: Sandburg News: Book Fair & More!

Dear Sandburg Families,

Our annual Book Fair is in full swing this week, and it’s the perfect opportunity for our students to dive into new adventures through reading! During their class library time, students will create a wish list of books that spark their interest. Remember, if you choose to make a purchase, 25% of all sales go back to the Sandburg Library for new books!  

We are excited to announce that our Enrichment programs will be opening up this week!  These programs are designed to complement our students' learning experiences, so be sure to check out the offerings and secure a spot for your child in their favorite activities. 

At Sandburg, we believe in supporting our entire community. Our Sandburg Outreach program is here to assist families in need with enrichment support and our Holiday Giving Campaign. If your family could benefit from these resources, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to participate in positive experiences.  

Don’t forget to grab some Sandburg Spirit Wear! Our school spirit wear is now on sale, providing a fun way for students to show their Sandburg pride. 

As we approach the holiday season, please mark your calendars for the upcoming breaks! We want to ensure that you have all the information you need to plan family activities and celebrations.
