Hello Sandburg Parents!!

We are very excited for Friday's Run4Funds event! Early Bird donations are due by Thursday, 9/21. We are just $10,000 away from reaching our Early Bird Donation goal of $25,000 so that the kids can receive a Foam Party on Run Day...please help us get there! We also wanted to mention that there was a mistake in last week's class run times for 4th and 5th grade. Check out the corrected times below as well as all our Run4Funds details.

We hope you will join us tonight or tomorrow for our Out & About at Chook Charcoal Chicken, where 20% of your order will go back to our school when you mention "Sandburg."

A reminder that our next PTO meeting is this week, Thursday, Sept. 21 from 6pm - 7:30/8pm in the Sandburg library. We love new faces and there is no time like the present to find out about what is going on at Sandburg. The October PTO meeting will be held on TUESDAY 10/24 due to the school board meeting where they vote on boundaries being on 10/26. 

Don't forget that the Long Range Planning committee is hosting three identical community events this week to discuss potential school boundary changes. Attendees can drop in any time during the open house to learn about the options being considered, ask questions of Committee members, and give feedback:

• Tuesday, Sept. 19 from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. at Powell Middle School

• Wednesday, Sept. 20 from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. at Euclid Middle School

• Thursday, Sept. 21 from 5:30 - 7:00pm at Newton Middle School

Thank you for supporting your students in our Run4Fund$ campaign so far! As of now, we are tracking at 25% of our $60,000 goal. 

This week is packed with events leading up to our Run!  

What’s Happening This Week:

Thursday, Sept. 21 — Early Bird Donations Due

When our school reaches our Early Bird goal of $25,000 by today, everyone gets to enjoy a FOAM Party on Run Day!!

Friday, Sept. 23 | Fun Run Day: 

Students will wear their Fun Run t-shirts (which will be handed out at school on Friday morning) and running shoes today. We will not be providing cups at the run so it is very important that students bring their own water bottles!!

Students will run/walk with their class for 30 minutes around a 1/16 mile track at school. Students will grab a jelly bracelet after each lap to keep track of their lap count. All students will receive a popsicle at the end of the run.

Your student will bring home their lap card so they can start collecting any per lap sponsorships and additional donations!

Kids run at their designated Specials Time

• 9:10 - 9:55, Kindergarten
• 10:00 - 10:45, 1st grade
• 10:50 - 11:35, 2nd grade
• 12:10 - 12:55, 5th grade
• 1:00 - 1:45, 4th grade
• 1:50 - 2:35, 3rd grade

Make a Social Media Post: 

We suggest that you make at least one post on FB, IG, etc asking for friends and family to support your student.  Following is an idea for a post, change it up for your student as necessary!

"Katie is participating in Sandburg’s Run4Fund$ this week!  Her goal is to run 35 laps in 30 minutes.  She wants to raise $500 for her school so she can earn a Gift Card for Inflatable Rental, , !  Would you donate toward her goal?  Every little bit helps – thank you!  https://r4funds.com/schools/sandburgrun23/ "

Check on your Students’ Donations: 

You can look up your students’ donations at https://r4funds.com/schools/sandburgrun23/, “Check My Students Donations” - password is: carl23. If you have donations that are not showing up online, it is most likely due to a misspelled name or nickname that doesn’t match up to your student’s name on the roster.  Please be assured that the Run4Funds staff will go through all donations before any prizing to make sure that they match up to students. No donations will be missed.

Next Week:

Friday, Sept. 29 — All Donations Due

All donations are due today. We are asking that donations be made online via our website. If you do receive cash or checks, please put them in an envelope clearly marked with your name and return it to your teacher or the front office. You do not need to return anything for online donations. Checks should be made out to Sandburg PTO
