your child’s schedule for the next school year, will be sent to families in April. By that time,
Guidance Counselors will have contacted students who registered for courses that may not run due
to low enrollment so that they can register for alternative courses. These final edits to registration
are necessary for the development of next year’s Master Schedule.
Before you know it, graduation will be here, so I take this opportunity to note the graduation schedule this year. Graduation ceremonies will begin at 7:00 P.M. on the following dates:
● Stagg High School – Monday, May 16
● Sandburg High School – Tuesday, May 17
● Andrew High School – Wednesday, May 18
The National Weather Service will be used to decide if we need to implement a rain date change.

SCHOLARSHIPS – SENIORS
We are happy to announce that thanks to your
support, the PFSA will once again be awarding
scholarships to qualified graduating seniors.
There will be two categories – “Academic” and
“Exemplary”. While participation in athletics
and music are welcome, the PFSA is seeking
seniors that have impacted the Sandburg
community – i.e. the clubs and organizations
your child has participated in and how their
participation has made a difference.
Applications will be available beginning
February 12th and will be due March 11th.
Please see the Guidance Department for your
application. In order for your senior to be
eligible, your family must have been a paying
member of PFSA for all years attending
Sandburg.
With that in mind, we are still accepting
MEMBERSHIPS through March 1, 2016. You
must complete a membership form and send
it to Sandburg’s Main Office along with your
$10 annual membership fee. If you have any
question about your membership for this year
or previous years, please contact
[email protected].
MEMBERSHIP
Thank you to the many families who have
joined our organization this year. Your
continued support allows us to award senior
scholarships and to contribute to a variety of
Sandburg clubs and activities. In order for your
student to qualify for a Senior Scholarship,
your family must become a member of the
PFSA every year your son or daughter attends
Sandburg. Membership forms can be found
on our website. Annual membership dues are
$10 per family, with a deadline of March 1,
2016. Please submit the completed form,
along with your payment, to the Main Office
or at one of our Spirit Wear sales. If you are
unsure if you have already joined, please
email [email protected] and we will
verify.

There are still several opportunities to serve
on committees in PFSA this year. We also
will have board and committee positions
open for the 2016-2017 school year. Now
is a great time to shadow a current member

This year’s Curriculum Fair was held on Friday, January 8th.
With registration upon us, it was a great opportunity for
students to see which elective classes are available to them.
Teachers from each class set up display tables highlighting
the curriculum including projects, samples and handouts.
Teachers were available to offer information and answer
questions about each course. Many elective courses were
represented. Culinary arts, anatomy, psychology, computer
maintenance, challenge education, woods, world languages
and early childhood education were just a few of the areas
represented. Students are strongly encouraged to try some
of the amazing elective programs offered here at Sandburg.
The Art department displayed some beautiful paintings and
drawings. Dance shared video clips of performances.

MODEL UN
Sandburg Model UN made strides this past December, expanding their
knowledge of the international community while acting as delegates in the
United Nations at CIMUN (Chicago International Model United Nations
Conference) which is a Model UN conference annually hosted in the
city by the Model United Nations Development Organization. Sandburg
represented nations like Angola, Argentina and Poland, and had members
in a mock U.S. Senate and Cabinet of the Russian Federation.
Over the course of 4 days students spent over 30 hours in committee, and
many more outside, debating issues like the Syrian Civil War, Millennium
Development Goals, Reliance on Eastern Europe for Energy, and the South
Sudan Crises. With sessions lasting as long as 6 hours and with numerous
committees holding emergency 2 am crises meetings, delegates worked
around the clock to introduce solutions to the world's problems. After the
weekend, several Sandburg delegates walked away with awards:
Best Delegates:
Erica Rasmussen and Hanna Darwish
Lauren Frankenbach and Jack Glynn
Bill Kolpak
Outstanding Delegates:
Alec Cardinal, Zahwa Hajyousif
Honorable Mentions:
Ayyan Chaudhry, Anthony Arunno
Caroline Hegg
Conference Award for Best in Simulations:
Bill Kolpak
Overall, Sandburg performed and placed strongly
in what was one of the most competitive Model
United Nation's conferences in the nation, with
over 60 schools and 1,500 delegates.

ATTENTION – Incoming Freshmen Class of 2020
Health Packets will be distributed on Saturday, January 30, 2016.
Each incoming ninth grade student must have a completed physical with updated
immunizations and a pink emergency sheet turned in to the Nurse by May 20, 2016. Students
will not be able to receive their class schedule or start school until this information is received
by the nurse and in compliance with the State of Illinois requirements. Appointments tend to fill

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO AVOID INFLUENZA...
AVOID CLOSE CONTACT – Avoid close
contact with people who are sick. When you
are sick, avoid contact with others to protect
them from getting sick.
STAY HOME WHEN YOU ARE SICK – Stay
home from work, school, or day care when
you are sick. You will help others from
catching your illness.
COVER YOUR MOUTH AND NOSE – Use
a tissue to cover your mouth and nose when
coughing or sneezing; it will help to prevent
others from getting sick.
WASH YOUR HANDS – Washing your hands
often will help protect you from germs.
AVOID TOUCHING YOUR EYES, NOSE OR
MOUTH – Germs are often spread when a
person touches things that are contaminated
with germs and then you touch your eyes,
nose or mouth.
Other ways to stay healthy during flu season
and all year round:
● Get plenty of sleep
● Exercise regularly
● Manage your stress level
● Drink plenty of fluids
● Eat healthy foods
These guidelines are recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Curriculum Fair
This year’s Curriculum Fair was held on Friday, January 8th.
With registration upon us, it was a great opportunity for
students to see which elective classes are available to them.
Teachers from each class set up display tables highlighting
the curriculum including projects, samples and handouts.
Teachers were available to offer information and answer
questions about each course. Many elective courses were
represented. Culinary arts, anatomy, psychology, computer
maintenance, challenge education, woods, world languages
and early childhood education were just a few of the areas
represented. Students are strongly encouraged to try some
of the amazing elective programs offered here at Sandburg.
The Art department displayed some beautiful paintings and
drawings. Dance shared video clips of performances.
Culinary arts students
handed out
snickerdoodle
puppy chow so
students can sample
some of the food made
in class. Anatomy
intrigued students
with their dissected cat
and the cosmetology
program even offered
free nail painting and
hair styling!

MODEL UN
Sandburg Model UN made strides this past December, expanding their
knowledge of the international community while acting as delegates in the
United Nations at CIMUN (Chicago International Model United Nations
Conference) which is a Model UN conference annually hosted in the
city by the Model United Nations Development Organization. Sandburg
represented nations like Angola, Argentina and Poland, and had members
in a mock U.S. Senate and Cabinet of the Russian Federation.
Over the course of 4 days students spent over 30 hours in committee, and
many more outside, debating issues like the Syrian Civil War, Millennium
Development Goals, Reliance on Eastern Europe for Energy, and the South
Sudan Crises. With sessions lasting as long as 6 hours and with numerous
committees holding emergency 2 am crises meetings, delegates worked
around the clock to introduce solutions to the world's problems. After the
weekend, several Sandburg delegates walked away with awards:
Best Delegates:
Erica Rasmussen and Hanna Darwish
Lauren Frankenbach and Jack Glynn
Bill Kolpak
Outstanding Delegates:
Alec Cardinal, Zahwa Hajyousif
Honorable Mentions:
Ayyan Chaudhry, Anthony Arunno
Caroline Hegg
Conference Award for Best in Simulations:
Bill Kolpak
Overall, Sandburg performed and placed strongly
in what was one of the most competitive Model
United Nation's conferences in the nation, with
over 60 schools and 1,500 delegates.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO AVOID INFLUENZA...
AVOID CLOSE CONTACT – Avoid close
contact with people who are sick. When you
are sick, avoid contact with others to protect
them from getting sick.
STAY HOME WHEN YOU ARE SICK – Stay
home from work, school, or day care when
you are sick. You will help others from
catching your illness.
COVER YOUR MOUTH AND NOSE – Use
a tissue to cover your mouth and nose when
coughing or sneezing; it will help to prevent
others from getting sick.
WASH YOUR HANDS – Washing your hands
often will help protect you from germs.
AVOID TOUCHING YOUR EYES, NOSE OR
MOUTH – Germs are often spread when a
person touches things that are contaminated
with germs and then you touch your eyes,
nose or mouth.
Other ways to stay healthy during flu season
and all year round:
● Get plenty of sleep
● Exercise regularly
● Manage your stress level
● Drink plenty of fluids
● Eat healthy foods
These guidelines are recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

We are happy to announce that thanks to your

scholarships to qualified graduating seniors.
There will be two categories – “Academic” and
“Exemplary”. While participation in athletics
and music are welcome, the PFSA is seeking
seniors that have impacted the Sandburg
community – i.e. the clubs and organizations
your child has participated in and how their
participation has made a difference.
Applications will be available beginning
February 12th and will be due March 11th.
Please see the Guidance Department for your
application. In order for your senior to be
eligible, your family must have been a paying
member of PFSA for all years attending
Sandburg.
With that in mind, we are still accepting
MEMBERSHIPS through March 1, 2016. You
must complete a membership form and send
it to Sandburg’s Main Office along with your
$10 annual membership fee. If you have any
question about your membership for this year
or previous years, please contact

PFSA every year your son or daughter attends
Sandburg. Membership forms can be found
