A Message from the PTA President

Dear Sangster families,

Hope everyone had a great Spring Break! We're excited to round out the school year with our last few events. 

The Fun Run is this Saturday! You can still sign up for late registration on Givebacks. Late registration allows anyone to participate in the run, but does not include a t-shirt. 

Save the date for our last two events of the year! A spring movie night on April 24 and Spring Carnival on May 15. These are two awesome events, so you don't want to miss out! Pizza orders can now be made on Givebacks for the movie night. Volunteers are also needed for both events; see info below.

Details of open roles for the 2026–2027 school year can be found below. We are still looking for a Secretary and a Spirit Wear Coordinator. We must fill the Secretary spot to have a PTA next year. Without the PTA none of these fabulous events will be able to take place. Reach out with any questions!

If you need anything, please reach out to sangsterptapresident@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Janessa Worrell
Sangster PTA President
