🌾 Harvest Festival is a tradition where Sanborn students give back to our community through activities that showcase their talents. This event and the activities leading up to it, help our children see that a strong, healthy community is vital for all of us and that they play an active and important role in bringing our community together.
🥫 This year, as part of our Harvest Festival we will collect canned goods donations for Lazarus House’s St. Martha’s food pantry, which supplies emergency groceries to over 1,200 families each week. Lazarus House is, specifically, looking for donations of peanut butter (in plastic jars only), canned tuna, and canned chicken. Donations are due by 11/26 and can be dropped in the donation bin located in your student's wing at Sanborn. Need an incentive? The wing with the most donations will get extra recess!
🎶 Our Festival will culminate in an all-school performance during the school day on 11/26, where members of Andover's Senior Center are invited to attend along with former teachers, administration, and members of Andover's first responder community. Due to space constraints, the performance is not open to parent/family attendance, it will be viewable by the whole community on Andover TV (Comcast 99 and Verizon 43, and online at https://andovertv.org/education). Ask your kids about the songs they are working on in Music class with Mrs. Waddell!
