Virtual Angel Tree
Looking to help a Sanderson student in need during the holidays? The SHS Virtual Angel Tree will provide holiday assistance to Spartan families who are experiencing financial and housing difficulties this season. In an effort to reduce contact, we will be collecting monetary donations instead of gifts. With these donations, Sanderson’s student services team will purchase and distribute gift cards to our families in need before the holidays. Deadline to donate is midnight on Monday, December 13th.  #SHSFamily #SpartanStrong
