This week's newsletter is all about FUNDRAISING! Like all Littleton Public Schools, Sandburg believes in and delivers a higher standard of education to our students. We know it’s what you’ve come to expect, and for many of you, it’s why you choose Sandburg for your children. Unfortunately, the funding we receive from the state of Colorado isn’t enough to provide the level of educational support we know you’ve come to expect. So, we bridge that gap through fundraising.

We raise money through a variety of different ways throughout the school year, including Out & Abouts, Run4Fund$, Teacher Raffle, direct giving, and more.  We also offer ways you can earn "free" money for Sandburg through year-round community rewards programs. 

Every penny we raise goes directly to the school. This year, we've set a goal to raise $70k (roughly $140 per student throughout the school year).
