East Sandy Happenings – 10/16/24


Dear East Sandy families-


REMEMBER:  FALL BREAK IS THURSDAY, FRIDAY, & MONDAY.
East Sandy had a great week with our digital citizenship.  Students learned valuable lessons on how to be safe during the digital age.  We challenged all children to interact with as many people in person during this fall break and limit the time they are on technology.  
Attached is a flyer for next week’s PTA Fundraiser.  This is a big event that we are preparing for with a kick off assembly on Tuesday and a Fun Run on Friday to wrap up the week.   We greatly appreciate all the PTA does for us and encourage everyone to become a member and participate in the fundraiser.


We need more Heros. Please sign up and get a free T-shirt.  Volunteer and connect with our children.
