We're trying on a new look and feel for our PTO newsletters - we hope you dig it!

In other news, we don't want to alarm you, but school starts in less than a month... 😬 Teacher assignments were posted in Aspen on Friday and the grade-level Facebook groups were lighting up with all the activity!

We've been hard at work over the summer reviewing your survey feedback from the end of last year and thinking about how we can make some of our amazing events even amazing-er (that's a word, right??)!

This newsletter is full of great info, important dates and volunteer opportunities (big and small). Enjoy the last few days of Summer and we'll see you in a few weeks!

DID YOU KNOW?

Big Changes at Sanborn!

If you've driven by the school, you may have noticed some action inside and outside the school! Here's a quick rundown of what's been happening:

• New security measures at the front office, front office space updates, LED lighting throughout the school, and new chairs and a new refrigerator added to the teacher's lounge (made possible by PTO funds).

• New casings were added to all bulletin boards in the main hallway, to better display student work.

• A new TV in the front lobby to share updates, etc.

• Last year's 5th graders gifted the school a new podium for the cafeteria stage, and microphones have been added to the cafeteria.

• The stone benches on the playground have been removed and will be replaced with four new benches.

• New mulch will be added to the playground around the play structures and a new buddy table for the playground, which will be installed soon (made possible by PTO funds).
