Reflections
This year's theme for Reflections, the national PTA arts program, has been announced! Your students are invited to create a piece of artwork in one of six categories that reflects this year's theme, "I am Hopeful Because…".
Step 1: Each student may create an art piece(s) in the following categories:- choreograph a dance
- produce a film
- write a poem or story
- compose a song
- take photos or
- create a piece of visual art
Step 2: Each student must explain how each piece of art relates to the theme.
Step 3: Turn in each entry to the school office by Friday, November 3rd.
Our students have been recognized at the local, state and national levels in recent years. This is a great way for your children to earn recognition for their artistic talents. Last year, more than 225 district students participated and were recognized locally, nine received State awards and three received National recognition. For more information and entry guidelines, visit the PTA Council website.

School Supplies
The PTA organizes the sale of pre-packaged school supply kits so parents can avoid the hassle of searching for school supplies over summer break. The school supply kits are ordered during the months of May & June 2023 and will be delivered directly to your home prior to school starting in August. The last day to order is July 1, 2023.
Questions? Please contact Lynnea Brown.
PE Uniforms
Each student will need a PE Uniform.
Sandburg is excited to announce District 205 Middle Schools' PE Uniforms for the 2023-24 school year are now available for purchase at the D205 Store. For your convenience, uniforms can be shipped directly to your home. Be sure to pre-order yours today!
Why Pre-Order? So your student can have the size he/she needs when the school year begins. Quantities are limited to leftover stock once school starts.
In addition, make sure your student has PE appropriate shoes each day. (Either wear gym shoes or keep some at school in the PE locker.)
The last day to order school supply kits was July 1, 2023. If you have questions about your order, please contact Lynnea Brown.
See the Supply Lists page on the Sandburg website for a list of school supplies needed for each grade.
SUPPLY LISTS
For those who enjoy shopping, or for your reference, see the school supply lists for each grade.
