The Sandburg Foundation is a non-profit foundation dedicated to providing additional financial support and programs to Sandburg Elementary School. Our mission is to provide a well-rounded educational experience for our students by raising funds to improve school site facilities and provide academic enrichment opportunities. A listing of the Board Members and their responsibilities can be found here.

What We Do

We raise money to give to the school in support of academic excellence and school enhancement. The Foundation hosts programs throughout the school year to allow our school to earn money. The Foundation is not in competition with the PTA. In fact, it was formed to allow us access to additional unrestricted funds to assist our school. By charter, the PTA is limited to fund-raising in order to support its own programs.

2008-2009 Fundraising Goals

This school year the Sandburg Foundation has determined that its fundraising efforts will be three-fold. We sat down with the Principal and two teachers to determine the needs for the school. It was decided that we will focus our fundraising to add more technology to the school, in terms of computers and smart boards, we will help purchase new Instructional Libraries for the classrooms in each grade level and we will raise money for guest speakers come to present to our students. We need your help to make this happen.
