We interrupt your February break to announce that our Sanborn Fun Run Dance Fit Edition was an ENORMOUS success and we surpassed our goal of $25,000! Thanks to our amazing Sanborn community, we raised over $27,000! This means Mrs. Fawcett will be keeping her promise – get ready for the sliming event at the end of the school year! We also sent a day-pass to Great Wolf Lodge home with each student on Friday 2/13.


Your generous support will help fund important enrichment programs and resources for our students. Any extra money raised from the Fun Run will go straight to the New Playground Fund.


Thank you to all our families, friends, and supporters who helped make this year's event such a tremendous achievement!

Authors Week

March 2-6

We're delighted to welcome accomplished authors who will inspire and engage with our students throughout the week. Want your child's book signed? Send them to school with a copy by the featured author on their scheduled day.


We're seeking parent volunteers to help make this event run smoothly. We need:

  • Parent chaperones to assist each author
  • A volunteer for Friday morning to help with Community Read Aloud refreshments


Special thanks to Katie Enos and Lauren Hare for organizing this wonderful celebration of literacy and literature!
