The Weekly STAR (May 5th)

   Sandlapper's Vision

Sandlapper will prepare every student academically, socially, and emotionally to be creative leaders in a global society.
We greatly appreciate everyone who (virtually and in person) attended our Minecraft StarCON this morning. Our STARS were very excited and proud to showcase what they've been building in Minecraft. Thank you for the continued support of our Computer Science Immersion Program at Sandlapper! 

If you missed it, no worries. 
You can watch the broadcast below.
The 2022-2023 Sandlapper Elementary School Yearbook can be ordered on Parent Portal. The deadline for pre-orders is today!
Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week 
is Monday, May 8th to Friday, May 12th. 
This is a great opportunity to remind everyone how incredible our SuperStar Heroes are at Sandlapper! We love and appreciate them so much that we have decided to celebrate them all month!  We have set up Appreciation Stations in the front lobby and cafeteria for people to write heartfelt notes from you or your student. If you are unable to visit us at Sandlapper, no worries; you can type your words of appreciation by clicking here!  Either way, we will guarantee your notes of appreciation will be delivered to our SuperStars!
In the image below, you will find more ways you can help us celebrate our teachers and staff at Sandlapper. There is also an opportunity to volunteer during the Teachers' Duty-Free Lunch on Friday, May 12th. Check ParentSquare to sign up.
Thank you for supporting the teachers and staff at Sandlapper!
