Thank You Library Volunteers: A special thank you from Mrs. Tejan and Mrs. Mosley to all our wonderful library volunteers! We appreciate the time and support you give to our Sandburg Library. We hope you will volunteer again next year! Our tulip gifts were supplied by Katie Esseveld, a former Sandburg parent and library volunteer. Katie’s family business is Swart and Company, Exporters of Quality Flower Bulbs since 1935. Thank you, Katie, the tulips are beautiful!
OFFICE SUPPLIES THAT WALK: did you know that all the creativity of our elementary school makes us big users of all kinds of office supplies: #2 pencils (thousands! a year), postit notes (hundreds), scissors (dozens) and pencil sharpeners (yes, even these get used up) regularly disappear. If you are doing spring cleaning, picking up a few things for the teachers, or thinking about end of the year gifts...these things are always welcome and a big help. So bring in your new and used office supplies, and put them in the workroom, or give your teacher a jump on next year!
Spring Clean Up Day: Saturday May 10, from 10:00 to 2:00. Bring along your garden tools such as: gloves, rakes, and shovels, and join the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts clean up the school grounds.
