SUBJECT: Sandburg PTO: 2 Week Countdown + Spring Social

Team Sandburg,

Only 2 weeks until Prom Part Deux on February 28th!  Don't forget to register for the auction or make a quick, easy donation in advance.   Upcoming budget cuts for next school year will put a significant staffing squeeze in place without your help.  

For more details on the budget and staff changes for the 2026/2027 school year, join us at the next PTO meetingon February 24th at 6pm.  We need your help to keep Sandburg on track.  

Next week, Sandburg will celebrate Kindness Week with a Food Drive and spirit-themed attire!  Beginning Monday, February 23rd, let's enjoy the fun themes outlined by day below and help those in need with shelf-stable food items and high-protein snacks.  

"This Place About to Glow!"  We are thrilled to announce the upcoming Sandburg Spring Social Friday, March 13th. Join us at Sandburg from 6:30-8:30, for a glow in the dark party featuring putt putt, a bubble balloon house, music and more!  Buy tickets in advance for $4 / person.

Look for announcements on the Teacher Drawing coming out early March.  The drawing will take place on March 19th, so everyone will have time to review those amazing experiences with our beloved staff.
