Hello Sanger families!  

There were a few changes to the themed dress days this week and next.  Sanger is currently a Candidate School for the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) and has two authorization visits to our campus this week, which is the next step in becoming classified as an IB World School.  

The PTA Calendar includes the most up-to-date information regarding Character Counts Week, focused on students' character, and Red Ribbon Week, focused on maintaining a drug-free lifestyle!

Schedule time with teachers to discuss your student's progress on Thursday, 10/23, between 4-6pm.

*If you are not available on this day, work with your student's teacher to find a time when you can discuss progress this year.

Campus administrators are inviting all families to join our pumpkin decorating contest!!  Paint, carve, and decorate for one of three categories:

• Most creative

• Scariest

Drop off your masterpiece on Friday, 10/24.  Vote on your favorite pumpkin on 10/30.  Take home your pumpkin on Friday, 10/31!

Please label pumpkins with your student’s name so we can display it proudly!
