It's time for the TEACHER DRAWING!

We are excited to announce the return of a favorite community fundraiser - the exciting and much loved - TEACHER’S Drawing (formerly known as the Teacher Raffle)!!

This is a fundraiser aimed at offering kids the opportunity to spend extra quality time with their favorite teachers and staff. The Sandburg Staff is generously donating their time AND these experiences for which the kids can purchase tickets. Each ticket is a chance to “win” these special “experiences” with that staff member. All proceeds will go to support the ‘26/27 PTO Budget, helping to fund paraprofessional staff support and various school equipment purchases/improvements.

Buy your tickets by Monday, March 16th and enter for a chance to WIN!  

Click HERE for the complete list of teacher and staff prizes available.

Most raffle tickets cost $2.00 and can be purchased online through this LINK.  Please complete your ticket purchases by March 16th.


The drawing will be held live on Thursday, March 19th during the lunch periods for each grade, with prizes being awarded shortly thereafter. Last year we raised nearly $6,000 for Sandburg and we are so appreciative of the Sandburg Staff for wanting to participate again this year!  If you have any questions, please contact Jess Pramov Sandburg PTO Fundraiser Chair, at email: jmpramov@gmail.com.

*Winners are responsible for working out the details and times of each prize with the offering teachers and staff.

Incoming 6th Grade Parent Orientation Night at Powell

Families with incoming middle school students are invited to visit Powell on Thursday, April 2, from 6:00–7:30 PM. Parents will have the opportunity to tour the school with Powell’s 8th grade Pride Leaders and hear from the principal, PTO, and other administrators about what to expect as students transition to middle school next year.

The Powell PTO is also beginning to fill positions for the upcoming school year and is hoping to welcome incoming 6th-grade parents to get involved. Several openings are available as current 8th-grade families move on.
