Thank you Sandpiper Families and Community for the amazing donations for our Silent Auction. 

We have something for almost everyone. We invite you to create an account at our new silent auction website and preview all of the amazing items we have to share. 

The PTO is making updates in real time, each day. So if you don't see your grade level basket or an item you donated, we are hard at work getting everything listed. Our hope is to go live on Tuesday, 2/28 to start accepting bids.  Every dollar raised stays at Sandpiper! 

Taking this time to preview items  is a great opportunity to research some of the local businesses who have donated. You can easily mark all items that interest you. Please reach out to the PTO with any questions.

Do you have a silent auction item that you haven't yet submitted? Please reach out immediately to Jenni Fig (jdjorg1@hotmail.com).  Thank you!

Friendly Reminder: Obey Parking Signs

Please be sure to obey the parking laws. Parking in a No Parking zone creates traffic challenges and can contribute to an unsafe environment for our students and families. Thank you!

Looking for a unique way to tell your student Happy Birthday or congratulate them for a job well done? You can put your message on the Marquee. Cost is $50 and every dollar stays with our students at Sandpiper. You can now purchase directly from the Sandpiper PTO website.

Please take a few minutes to stop by the Sandpiper Lost and Found near the library. If your student is missing a water bottle or sweatshirt, chances are it might be in there. All unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the week, 

Congratulations!

The Sandpiper Superstars did it! Together we raised over $13,000! Thank you for the support and for sharing this fundraiser within your community. Take a look at the school page to see who our highest fundraisers are! Thank you to all who participated.
