Happy Thanksgiving Sandburg!

We hope this week brings everyone much love, joy, and happiness to you all! We are thankful for our entire Sandburg community — children, families, and staff. Sandburg isn’t complete without every one of you! 

Our Sandburg Giving Campaign is now up and running!  A few of our Sandburg families could use your help to make the holidays truly merry and bright.  Please consider helping by reviewing the Holiday Giving Sign-up below to see if you could pitch in and make this season special. Your contributions and donations are so appreciated and make a BIG difference for many! 

Thank you to those who were able to join in on the Streets of Southglenn Holiday Parade!  The Sandburg Spirit was a sight to see, and a beautiful evening to enjoy friends and the Sandburg family.  Remember - upload those pictures!

Don't forget to stock up on some Sandburg gear as you begin your holiday shopping next week! 1st Place Spiritwear is running a sale on all spirit wear items through December 10th.  Save 25% off sitewide.
