Hello Sandburg Families!

We are so excited about our upcoming Run4Funds fundraiser and want to share ALL the details with you. This event is more than just a fundraiser – it will be an all student participation activity during school hours that will be fun, promote good fitness and drive school spirit. 

This is our 9th annual Run4Funds and is Sandburg's biggest fundraiser of the year. We are trying to raise $60,000 and we can’t do it without your help!  Students can earn class and school-wide prizes & events. The funds this year will be used to benefit all of our students.

This year’s goal is roughly $120 per student – easily attainable!  The best strategy is to help your student start finding sponsors & donors right away. Check out the parent letter or our website for details.

Contributions from the run support:

• Paraprofessional Staffing

• School Technology Additions

• Staff Appreciation

• Furniture and School Equipment Needs (just to name a few!)
