Dear SHES Community,
Thanks to the success of the Annual Appeal, the PTO’s “Pay It Forward Fund” has been fully endowed and was recently shared with Sandburg Elementary School. Sandburg Elementary is located on the north side of Madison, near the Dane County Regional Airport.
Ms. Nachtwey, Shorewood’s school social worker, is currently serving as the substitute social worker at Sandburg. She helped connect the PTO with Sandburg’s principal, Ms. Lopez.
We wanted to share Principal Lopez’s note of appreciation with the Shorewood school community:
Thank you for the Pay It Forward donation! The money will be used to support the Sandburg families experiencing homelessness. We’re grateful to have a fund that can be used to address barriers that can prevent them from attending and engaging fully in their education (such as hygiene supplies, food, clothing, gas cards, or bus passes). We really appreciate the community’s support!
Best,
Lori Lopez
Sandburg Elementary School- Principal
