SUBJECT: Sandburg PTO: Thank You & Enjoy the Break!

Thank You Sandburg!

Your generosity during this holiday season has been overwhelming!  Thank you Sandburg for supporting our families that needed a little help this time of the year.  We were able to fulfill the wish lists between direct donations and monetary gifts from you!  

Last call for the Staff Holiday Giving!  All contributions are due by 10pm tonight, Tuesday, Dec. 17th! Again, this is an optional holiday gift for staff outside your students classroom.  Please use the CheddarUp link here, or the PTO drop box at school front entrance.  You may show your appreciation as you see fit; including a handwritten note that goes a long way!

While we all look forward to a nice Winter Break, we also prepare for the New Year, including the free Hearing & Vision Testing at Sandburg for Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grades.  We need volunteers to escort students to and from these screenings to reduce any interruption to instructional time.  Please sign-up to help out!

Don't forget, Spirit Week is this week, Dec. 16th - 20th!  Today is Sports Jersey day, tomorrow try out Twinning with a friend, Crazy Hat Thursday, and a cozy PJ Day Friday.

As an early holiday treat, Skate City is offering free skating passes as a Thank You to Sandburg!  See below for details.

Have a wonderful Winter Break and we will see you back at school January 7th!
