Coming Up
Back to School Bash

Join us for a fun, carnival-like event held in the Sanger yard behind the school.

Supporting Stallions Spirit Shirt Drive

We want every student to be able to wear their spirit shirt with pride on Fridays! Consider donating a spirit shirt through our Stallions Supporting Stallions initiative, helping ensure no student goes without one on Spirit Day!

PTA Membership

Your PTA membership makes a direct difference for every student at our school. In past years, Dollar Days meant only students who brought $1 got to participate in free dress. This year, the PTA is covering that cost for the whole school — so every student gets to enjoy free dress, no matter what. Beyond what it funds, membership gives you a voice: members can vote on how PTA funds are spent and help shape the programs that shape your child's year at school. It's one of the easiest ways for a busy parent to make a real difference — no meetings required, though you're always welcome. Join today, and help make sure every Stallion — not just your own — gets the full Sanger experience.

Volunteering

There are so many different ways to participate on campus - the Volunteer Interest form is a great place to start!  Some examples include:

  • School support — help in the garden, cafeteria, teacher appreciation, with campus projects, and more!

  • PTA support — help with events, a variety of fundraising efforts, our new dual language committee, the yearbook, the dads club, our Future Stallions group, and so much more!

  • Book Buddies & Math Mentors — work 1:1 or in small groups with students to support reading and math skills. Our first student-support training sessions are September 1 & 3.

You don't have to be a parent to help -- grandparents, family members, and community members are welcome, too!

Note: All volunteers must complete a background check each school year through dallasisd.voly.org.
