Participating in The Stride is a great way to support the Littleton Public Schools Foundation, and your participation could also help Sandburg earn extra funding! This year, $15,000 in Health & Wellness grants will be awarded through school contests, including $2,000 for the elementary school with the highest participation and additional awards for increased participation, school spirit and more.

The more Sandburg families who participate, the better our chance to bring some of those funds back to our school.
