DID YOU KNOW?

Sanborn's Fun Run

Dance Fit Edition

is Coming!

Enrichment at Sanborn - Powered by Fun Run

Because of our incredible Sanborn community, the PTO provides field trips and in-school enrichment at NO cost to students. These hands-on, curriculum-aligned experiences spark curiosity, deepen learning, and bring the classroom to life.

Our annual FUN RUN (Dance Fit Edition!) fundraiser is coming soon – and you will be hearing more about this important cause and how to support our school.

WHY is it important to get involved?

Donations collected through the Fun Run fundraiser go straight back to our school. The funds raised directly cover field trips and hands-on enrichment presentations— think assemblies, in-school workshops, and experiences that make learning come alive. Every donation creates more memorable moments and more opportunities for every student.
