Is your child stressed out? While most kids and teens aren’t dealing with bills, difficult bosses, and frustrating commutes, there are plenty of situations that can cause them stress. Some stress may seem just a part of growing up, but there are also children and teens who are dealing with more serious stressors. Check out the attached flyer about Stress. And, if you are concerned that your child may be at risk for harming themselves, please reach out to your child’s counselor for help.

JOIN THE SANDBURG PTA
The PTA is an active organization that sponsors several activities and events throughout the school year for the benefit of our students, teachers and staff here at CSMS. Joining the PTA provides instant financial support for our students and is a great way to stay informed about what’s happening at Carl Sandburg Middle School.
Over $24,000 was raised from PTA membership, donations and fundraising events last year. Those funds were used to support teacher appreciation activities, lighting for the auditorium, technology for the library, clubs, cafeteria needs and education department requests. Help us exceed that amount this year by joining the Carl Sandburg Middle School PTA!
While fundraising is a focus for the PTA, volunteers are even more important to the success of our organization. There will be many opportunities for parents to volunteer their time this year...a few include our upcoming Season of Giving events that take place around Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Library will need volunteers to help with the Book Fair and the Career Fair. We can always use extra hands for the setup of our Teacher Appreciation events, as well as support on Chik-Fil-A nights and at our Student-Teacher Basketball game in the Spring. The PTA welcomes all new members and encourages everyone to get involved in any way you can. Keep an eye out for these volunteer requests.
To join the PTA go to http://carlsandburgpta.ch2v.com/content.asp?PageID=0 and select the membership level that best suits you. There is also an option to make a tax-deductible donation, and 100% of all donations go directly to the school!
Email questions to PTA Membership Chair Rachel Meadows at rachelcmeadows@gmail.com.
PTA information, including details about fundraisers, teacher appreciation and membership can be found on our website at this link: http://carlsandburgpta.ch2v.com. We also post regularly to social media, so follow Carl Sandburg Middle School PTA on both Facebook and Twitter.
CSMS CLINIC NEEDS YOUR HELP
Ms. Hoffman, our school Clinic supervisor, is coordinating a snacks program for students who need a little extra to eat or drink. Too many students at our school spend some time distracted by hunger and the PTA is working with her to support students.
Please consider donating if you can. Donations can be dropped off in the school office labeled Clinic Snack Program.
Here is the link to see what we need and to sign up to help out! Thank you!
