Sandhill E-News
Week of 2/24/2025
A Message From Mr. Johnson:
Hello Sandhill Families,
It looks like we're out of the cold and into some spring temperatures—with a bit of melting snow to boot! Here are a few important reminders for the upcoming week:
Family Conferences: They are happening next week, and we’re so excited to have you in our building. Be sure to sign up for a time using the links below!
Working For Kids Sponsored Sock Hop: Happening tonight! Get ready for a live DJ, dancing, and lots of fun. We can’t wait to see our students and families enjoying the festivities!
Library Book Fair: Next week in Library, students will have an opportunity to shop the book fair and check out books during their regularly scheduled library lesson time. Although this is a departure from the previous practice of using recess as "free shop/book fair time," we’re hoping that this new setup will provide an equitable structure and more support for this offering.
Class Show & Tell Parade: Our students earned their incentive for January—a class show and tell parade! We held the parade on Friday, 2/21, where each class had the chance to showcase a project they created, a special item from home, or something meaningful that they prepared. There was so much joy throughout the building—we’ve attached some photos below!
Thank you for your continued support. Have a wonderful week ahead, and we look forward to seeing you next week for Family Conferences!
Warm regards,
Bob / Mr. Johnson

Staff Dinner during PT Conferences - Wednesday, 2/26 - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Our fabulous Sandhill staff always work hard for our students and their families. But, during conferences, they really go the extra mile and don't have much time to refuel. That's where WFK comes in! It is our tradition to provide dinner for the entire staff to enjoy on the first day of conferences. Please consider signing up to donate a food item, help set up, or help clean up as a way of showing our Sandhill staff how much we appreciate them!
