👟Fun Run
On Saturday, we proudly hosted the Purple UP MOMC Sangster Fun Run—and what an incredible turnout! A big thank you to our Family Liaison Stacy Huisman and the Sangster PTA for helping to organize.
Tomorrow, Sangster is celebrating our own Purple Up Day. Sangster will be giving students a warm, special welcome that morning. We encourage all students to show their support of military-connected students by wearing purple! If you have any questions or need specific support, feel free to reach out to Stacy Huisman at dshuisman@gmail.com.
⭐Stars & Stripes
Our Stars & Stripes display in the cafeteria garnered attention from the military publication "Stars and Stripes". Editor Erik Slavin writes to Stacy Huisman, Sangster Military Liaison:
"It's always great to ... see the impact (of what we do) among the kids. I've shared this around the newsroom, and I know it gave our reporters and editors a nice morning boost as we work on today's news."
