Hello Sandburg!

It's a busy week as we head into winter break. A few important reminders and dates...

Staff Holiday Giving contributions are due this Wednesday, Dec. 17th! Participation is completely optional, but if you'd like to show your appreciation for Sandburg staff outside of your student's classroom, please use the CheddarUp link here or the PTO drop box at the school front entrance. However you choose to say thank you, it's very much appreciated.

If you have not heard from your room parent about in-class gifting, please reach out to our Room Parent Coordinator via email.

Spirit Week is still going strong until Dec. 20th! Details and themes below.

Please remind students to check the Lost & Found. All items will be donated THIS Friday, Dec. 18th. 

With the unseasonably warm weather, it’s the perfect time for a snow cone! The Kona Ice truck will be at Sandburg this Friday after school. Stop by for a cool treat and help support our school.

January 12th - 20th, Sandburg will offer Hearing and Vision screening for grades K-5. Students are screened in small groups, and we need volunteers to escort them to/from class and the screening truck. Please consider signing up.  All volunteers must be background checked. 

In the spring, Sandburg will once again offer the Book Swap. As you clear out those bookshelves over break, don't forget to keep some books on hand to trade in!

Sandburg needs volunteers to escort students in grades K-5 to the vision and hearing screening the week of January 12th - 16th and on Monday, January 20th, 2025.

Volunteer Duties:

• Volunteers will escort 3 students from a classroom to the screening truck. The volunteer will immediately return to the classroom and get 3 more students, and bring them to the screening truck.  

• The volunteer will wait with the 3 students outside of the screening truck for the students on the screening truck to complete their testing. Once they’ve finished testing, the students will exit the screening truck, and the volunteer will walk those 3 students back to class and get 3 more students while the next 3 students are being tested.  

• This cycle will be repeated for each class. This procedure allows students to miss the least amount of instructional time possible. 

Volunteers should complete their background check in advance here and check in at the front desk when they arrive. Thank you!

Spirit Week is in full swing, and there are three days left to join the fun! Take a look at the remaining daily themes below and help your student show their holiday spirit.

Sweat, stretch & support our school! This month, grab a special 5-Pack of classes for just $89 (normally $145) to use at locally owned YogaSix Centennial just a few minutes from our school! You can share the classes with your kiddo, or a friend to warm up with heated yoga this season. 50% of all proceeds will be donated back to Sandburg by the studio owner, a local mom Betsy Koch.
