The Sandpiper Grants & Awards team was recently awarded a grant by the Art in Action organization. The funds received from this grant will be used to purchase specific supplies for the art program taught to every student by our trained parent volunteers. A special thank you to team leaders Jinmin Rudolph and Jeff Wong, and Grade 5 teacher Mrs. Taylor, for their leadership.

With the assistance of Ralston Cadette Troop 20724, the Sandpiper Green Team continues to encourage eco-friendly habits with student education and campus recycling events. In November the Green Team also kicked off the Cool the Earth Program which helps students and their families adopt eco-friendly habits at home. Look for future community recycling events on the RSCA events billboard or online at http://sandpiper.brssd.org/ptaprograms.html?bpid=12120.

The Sandpiper community wishes everyone a safe and joyous holiday season. Please remember school will be closed December 21-January 1 for the winter break. Classes will resume on Monday, January 4.
