Red Ribbon Week
Students shared what keeps them motivated to stay substance-free and joined a fun scavenger hunt!
It’s that time of year again! The Saunders PTSA is collecting candy for the Matthew Wallace Foundation Trunk or Treat event. Help us fill our trunks and make this community event extra sweet! Please send closed bags of candy to the main office by October 24th. Every bag makes a huge difference in helping us to support this wonderful community tradition!
And while you’re showing your support, consider becoming a PTSA member today! Your membership strengthens our school community and helps make events like this possible.
