From your PTA Board

We don't typically do a Friday newsletter, but with last week's holiday and everything coming up next week, we didn't want to wait until next Monday!

💵 Dollar Day - TODAY 12/5

Dollar Days are used to fundraise for school field trips - Students may bring $1 in exchange for free dress (must be school-appropriate, no ripped jeans, tank tops, Crocs, open-toed shoes, etc.)

📚 Future Stallions - Story Time @ WRH Library | 12/6

First Saturday of the month means Bilingual Storytime!

Join the Sanger Future Stallions this Saturday Morning at the White Rock Hills Library for stories, songs, and activities. Audience is 6 years and under; current students are also welcome to join!

🎁 Sanger Angel Tree | Now - 12/17

Ms. Cerillo and our wonderful admin team coordinate an Angel Tree program, providing the opportunity to bless a Sanger student this holiday season. Your kindness makes a tremendous difference!

We kindly ask that gifts be wrapped if possible, or you are welcome to bring them to campus, and we will gladly wrap them for you.

All gifts must be returned by December 17.

Contact Ms. Cerillo with any questions or to adopt an angel: cacerrillo@dallasisd.org

Next Week

🎨 Winter Fine Arts Night | 12/9

This evening is put on by Ms. Strader and the specials team, and it's all about celebrating the arts at Sanger. It will include student performances from 3rd, 4th, & 5th grades, music, and art on display! There will also be festive stations for food and sweet treats... maybe even a visit from Santa. 🎅

Similar to Sanger Fest, tickets will be sold in advance and used for food and activities.

Volunteer at Winter Fine Arts!

Are you available to manage the cookie-creation station or hot chocolate bar? Maybe you know someone who could be Santa for a couple of hours... Click the button below to see volunteer opportunities.

**If you know a Santa, please reach out to Ms. Strader. She has the outfit, just needs a volunteer!! araslawsky@dallasisd.org
