  1. Traffic Safety

An important school safety notice was sent home with your child last week.  As a family, please review the traffic safety information and determine how your family can use active transportation to get to and from school.  We have dangerous traffic congestion around our school.  The Walking School Bus and Trailblazer programs increase the safety and fun of walking to school, find out how you can be involved.  If you must drive, check out the map for the “drive to 5” locations and make a change to show you care about the safety of our neighbourhood.

 

  1. Cobs Bread Fundraiser

The Boardwalk location of Cobs Bread will provide 10% of your purchase back to Sandhills to support our school.  Just be sure to let the cashier know that you are a Sandhills family before your purchase is complete.  Stop in to purchase a treat or any of their delicious breads and support the school at the same time! www.cobsbread.com
