SUBJECT: Let's Celebrate our Sandburg Community!

Hello Sandburg Families,

Welcome to December! Can you believe there is less than 3 weeks until the winter break?! But even with the short month, there is still so much happening at Sandburg. 

To start, we want to remind everyone that our Sandburg Pride Social is this week! Join us right after school Thursday, 12/7 from 2:45-4:00pm to celebrate our Mountain Lion Pride on the south playground. Don't forget to dress in Sandburg colors!!

The Holiday Giving Campaign is in full swing! Thank you to everyone who has already made a contribution and/or donation. It is so appreciated and makes a BIG difference for many! However, with 8 families that could use some extra support this year, there are still more items needed (particularly gas and grocery gift cards). Click here to view the SignUp Genius. All new, unwrapped gifts are due to the front office by Friday, Dec. 15th.

Keep reading to hear about this year's Holiday Staff Giving, volunteer opportunities with our social committee, as well as a reminder about our StreetSmarts program. Thanks again for all you do to make Sandburg such a wonderful community to be a part of!  Please do not hesitate to email with any questions!

Holiday Staff Giving

We are so excited to honor our entire Sandburg staff for the holidays through our Staff Giving Cheddar-Up page. You will be able to select members of the Specials team, learning support services, paraprofessional staff, building and nutrition services, bus drivers etc. 

Simply scroll through the list, contribute the amount you want to individual staff members, add them to your cart and make one payment… it’s as easy as that! 

Classroom Teachers and grade level paras will not appear on this link as their holiday gifts are being collected by Room Parents. If you have not heard from your Room Parent about a collaborative gift for your teacher, please email Amy Nelson, Room Parent Coordinator at: amy.jill.miller@gmail.com

The Cheddar Up Page will remain open until END OF DAY on Monday, December 18th. After that time, PTO will transfer all the holiday funds to our school account and then disperse them to individual staff members.
