THE SPARTAN VOICE

Hello Sanderson Friend,

Looking for information? The PTO has compiled a Linktree with all things Sanderson! Bookmark this page: https://linktr.ee/SandersonPTO

Thanks to our generous community for donating to our Spartan Strong Annual Giving Campaign Because of you, we have received $27,446 from 171 families in just 30 days!

We continue to hear from families who plan to give closer to the end of the calendar year, as they determine their family's charitable contributions for tax purposes.  That is GREAT!  Your donation will make a difference at any time!  Give whatever amount is appropriate for your family at whatever time is appropriate.  THANK YOU!

On November 8th, voters will elect new members to the WCPSS Board of Education, including Sanderson’s district. Find your school district number, the candidates running in your school district, and your sample ballot with resources linked on our advocate web page.

Our much-anticipated "Spartan Strong" Pura Vida bracelets should be here shortly!  If you have already pre-ordered yours, great!  If not, you can order yours now today

They will be either made available for pickup in the Spartan Store or delivered to you. Everyone who has placed an order will be contacted as soon as the shipment arrives!
Athletic Parents and Student Volunteers: Please signup for a concessions shift this Fall.  Many hands make light work! Thank you again for supporting our athletics!!!
