Dear Sanborn Dragon Thunder,

As we approach the Thanksgiving break, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for our wonderful school community. Your ongoing support and involvement make Sanborn a special place for our students to learn and grow.

As we give thanks for the upcoming holiday season, it’s heartening to witness the hard work and dedication our students are putting into their studies. December brings the anticipation of mid-year goals, and I’m confident that with their continued efforts, they will achieve great success.

Our school is buzzing with excitement for the upcoming Dragon Dash assembly. It’s incredible to see the enthusiasm and teamwork displayed by our students during the fundraising campaign. I can hardly wait to celebrate their achievements and distribute the well-deserved rewards.

Wishing you all a joyful Thanksgiving filled with warmth and cherished moments with loved ones. Thank you for being an essential part of the  Sanborn family.

Best regards,

Mrs. Peeples

Principal
