The season of gratitude and giving is almost here, and it’s a wonderful time to do something meaningful for others. This Thanksgiving, Ms. Cerillo and the Sanger Staff are hoping to bless 12 families in our Sanger community with a full holiday meal.

Each sign-up represents one complete meal for a family of four. We ask that each dinner include a small turkey or ham, rolls, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, and dessert.

Thank you for helping ensure every family in our community can enjoy a warm and joyful Thanksgiving meal together. 🧡 Thank you!

Please deliver meals to campus by 10am November 21.

Art Committee Grade-Level Champion - In Preparation for March Annual Fundraiser 

One of the highlights of the auction is the opportunity to buy beautiful artwork made by our amazing Sanger students!  Last year's artwork is shown below!

We are looking for parent, grandparent, or neighborhood friend volunteers to “champion” the project for each grade.  We'd like to meet in early December, so looking for volunteers now.  The time commitment will be about 5 hours, from deciding on the project idea, sourcing materials (or donations), helping Ms. Ogle during the art period, and helping assemble or frame the final artwork.  

If you would like to help contribute financially towards art supplies and framing, we are also accepting donations to enhance the variety of artwork we can create

If you have any questions, please reach out to Katy Spartz (SangerVolunteering@gmail.com) or Ms. Cerrillo (cacerrillo@dallasisd.org).

All volunteers must register with the district (submit a background check) application through Voly each school year: dallasisd.voly.org.
