Hey Sanger families!

We're trying out a later-in-the-week newsletter timing.  Since communication from Ms. Benedetto comes out on Sunday/Monday, we thought we'd try something new.  Also sharing some things posted in the PTA Facebook group that may have come out after this week's Scoop. Frequency has been bi-weekly so far, but please share feedback regarding timing or content - it's always nice to hear from readers.   :)

This Week
Sanger Family Business Directory - Due 9/11

We love supporting local - this directory features businesses owned or run by Sanger families!!  It will be shared with the school so that anyone who wants to support fellow Stallions may do so.  If you haven't done so already (or aren't sure), be sure to click the link below to add your information!

No sponsorship required - this is free to participate and list your business, though sponsors will be featured.  Updates to the directory after 9/11 will only be made for new sponsors.

Even if your information is still current from last year’s directory, you MUST submit your information to the linked form to be included this year.

GirlPower Flag Football - Registration Deadline 9/13

As families gear up for fall sports, girls have a new option this year: flag football!  

New-to-Sanger dad, Trey Watts, is helping launch GirlPower Flag Football Dallas - a girls-only program for ages 5-18 focused on creating opportunities for girls to learn the game, build confidence, compete, make friends, and have fun.  All skill levels are welcome.

The season begins Sunday, September 27, with games played on Sundays.  Registration is live through Sunday, September 13th.
