SUBJECT: Get Ready for the Holidays!

Hello Sandburg,

A reminder that our next PTO meeting is this Thursday, November 16 from 6pm - 7:30/8pm in the Library. We love new faces and there is no time like the present to find out about what is going on at Sandburg.  

We are still looking for volunteers to join our Hospitality Committee! The committee responsibilities will be to handle ordering, delivery, set up and break down of meals and treats provided to teachers and staff throughout the year. Typically this is during conferences, at the holidays, and during Staff Appreciation. Please sign up here if you are interested in being a part of this committee! 

It’s almost time for our annual Sandburg Family Holiday Giving Campaign. Our goal with this event is to support Sandburg families that may need some additional assistance this holiday season. Your contributions and donations are so appreciated and make a BIG difference for many! Please keep an eye out for an email later this week with all the details on how you can give, and the specific wishlists from Sandburg families.

Keep reading below to hear all about the Streets of SouthGlenn Holiday Parade (with details on Sandburg's student participation), an update on our Charleston Wrap fundraiser, the Spirit Wear holiday sale and MORE!
