🚨 URGENT: SABAL PALM FAMILIES, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Our Fall Festival is TOMORROW, Friday, October 23, and we are reaching out to our Flamingo Family with an urgent request.

We currently have only a handful of families signed up to host a trunk for Trunk or Treat. We desperately need more families to step up.

Our PTA, Extended Day Program, teachers, and staff have worked incredibly hard to put together a FREE Fall Festival for our students and community. We have planned an evening full of games, inflatables, activities, and fun, but Trunk or Treat is one of the most exciting parts of the evening for our children, and right now, we simply do not have enough trunks participating.

We know our families are busy. We understand that everyone has responsibilities and commitments. But we are asking you to please consider giving a little of your time to help make this event special for our students.

You do not need an elaborate setup or expensive decorations. Decorate your vehicle however you'd like, bring some treats, and help us give our children an experience they will remember.

We don't want our students walking through a nearly empty Trunk or Treat area tomorrow night. We need our community to come together NOW to make sure that doesn't happen.

🚗 PLEASE SIGN UP TO HOST A TRUNK:

If you cannot participate, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST. Reach out to family members, friends, neighbors, coworkers, local businesses, and anyone who might be willing to help. You do not have to be a Sabal Palm parent to support our students!

Our Fall Festival is open to the entire community, and we want it to be an incredible evening for everyone.

Friday, October 23 | 5:00–7:30 PM

We often talk about what makes Sabal Palm special. It's our people. It's our families. It's the way we come together when our students need us.

This is one of those moments.

Please help us make tomorrow a success. Our students are counting on us.

ONE SCHOOL. ONE TEAM. ONE FLAMINGO FAMILY.

All In, All Year: Heart + Hustle

Sabal Families,

I need your help! Our Data Triangle Survey closes this Friday, and so far, only 30 families have completed it. That’s just 5% of our school community.

I would really love to see us reach at least 20% participation before the survey closes, but we have some work to do! We need about 90 more families to take a few minutes and share their feedback.

Your input truly matters to me. I want to know what we're doing well and where we can improve. Hearing directly from our families helps us make decisions that are best for our students and our school.

If you haven't completed the survey yet, please take a few minutes to do so before Friday. I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you for being a part of our Sabal family and for helping us continue to make Sabal Palm the best it can be!
