Counselor Corner
NO PLACE FOR HATE
Sandburg MS has partnered with the Anti-Defamation League to initiate the NO PLACE FOR HATE initiative in our school. We will all sign pledges as we confirm our unity and affirm to work together to combat prejudice and enhance a culture of respect in our school community. Details of upcoming events will be shared.
Grief and Grieving Small Group
There are many students who need more support when they have lost a parent or close guardian. Mr. Grauer, one of our school counselors, would like to start a small group on “grief and grieving” for students who have lost a parent or close guardian. The group will start on Tuesday, October 29th during Homeroom and it will last for approximately seven to eight weeks. There will be one group this Fall. Please email Mr. Andrew Grauer at acgrauer@fcps.edu or call him at 703.799.6136 if your child is interested in joining the small group to discuss the grief they are experiencing.
STUDENT-PARENT SURVEY FOR FEDERAL IMPACT AID
Beginning on October 21, FCPS will be asking all families to fill out a Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid.
Returning this form is important because information from this survey results in an additional $3 million in grants each year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
For each school-aged child in your household, please complete, sign, date, and return the survey to your child's school. If sections 1 and 2 of the survey do not apply to you, just check the box in Section 3. All forms must be signed, dated, and returned by October 30. All results are CONFIDENTIAL. If you have any questions, please contact Kari Nieto at klnieto@fcps.edu or 703-799-6262.

Survey forms will be sent home Thursday, October 24th.

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.
