The Bulldog Spirit

Hi Sanborn Friends,

It’s hard to believe we’re at the end of another school year—and with that, the final PTO newsletter of the year. This one feels a little extra special (and bittersweet) because it’s also my last message as PTO president.

After two years of serving on the Board, the time has come for us to step down and pass the torch. It’s been an incredible experience—full of fun events, big and small wins, and a whole lot of community spirit. I’m so thankful for the support, ideas, and helping hands from all of you along the way.

A huge thank you to the rest of our outgoing Board and those who served along the way: Kristen Andrews, Meagan Annino, Callan Almeida, Jamie Sloan, Meghan McDermott, Misty Davis, and Ashlee Lazzari. It’s been a true team effort and I’m so grateful for the friendship and the fun.

The best part? We’re leaving things in great hands. The incoming board (see below!) is full of energy and ready to keep the momentum going. We can’t wait to see what they do next!

Thanks again for letting us be a part of your Bulldog experience these past couple of years. Have a wonderful summer—we’ll see you around!

Abbie Connors

School Toolbox

Sanborn is partnering with School Tool Box again this year to offer an easy and cost-effective way to purchase back-to-school supplies for the fall. Log on to www.schooltoolbox.com, search for “Sanborn” and then locate your child’s grade level list.

Each grade has required items, as well as add-on and optional items. Once ordered, the boxes are delivered to your child’s classroom for the first day of school.

Supply prices either meet or beat the prices at Amazon, Staples and Target; each box is rounded up to the next dollar to provide a small amount of funds for the school to purchase additional supplies for Sanborn families in need.

Please order by July 6 in order to have your supply box delivered in time for the start of school.

Order your supplies today!

Sanborn is Planning

Donor Shout Out!

Thank you, Rotary Club of Andover! The Rotary Club donated funds to “Nature on Wheels” and enabled our 5th graders to engage in two days of workshops, focused on scientific inquiry and collaborative learning.

Thank you to Andona for their generous grant to the Sanborn PTO! This funding helps keep Family Fun Night, Spooky Fun Fair, our Talent Show, Around the World, and Ice Cream Social free and inclusive to our entire community.

Over the summer, we'll share info on Kindergarten meet-ups, next year's teachers, and dates for our Fall events in our Facebook group.
