Celebration
🌿 Garden Work Days - THANK YOU

We had a great show of support for our second Garden Workday!  We hope parents, teachers and students notice the progress we’re making to get the garden ready for planting in early Spring. 

We’re tentatively planning another day in early December, so stay tuned for upcoming opportunities.  Kids welcome! 

From Your School Counselors

National Career Development Month is celebrated annually in November to highlight the importance of career planning for people of all ages. We want our students to explore and develop skills to locate, evaluate, and interpret career information. It is never too early to think about their future and goals.  Next week, we'll celebrate Dream Big, Bright Future Week.  There are two ways you can help support that:

  1. Email your child’s teacher or your child’s counselor one picture of your child's accomplishments. The pictures will be displayed on a bulletin board at school.  We are proud of Sanger Students!  We want to showcase our students' achievements, activities they participate in, or future aspirations. Email pictures by Friday, November 14th by 2:00pm
    Counselor McDonald Pre-K3-4th (ammcdonald@dallasisd.org) Counselor Anderson 5th-8th (amyanderson1@dallasisd.org)
  2. Volunteer to read to PreK and Kinder students or speak with 1st-3rd grade students about your career
    Dates and times will be posted later this week under Volunteer Opportunities.
