Good Morning Sabal Palm Families,
Our Winter Ball is coming up on Saturday, December 13th!
We’ll have a Sensory Hour from 3:30–4:30 PM and the Main Event from 5:00–7:00 PM, and we’re working hard lining up everything we need to turn our school into a magical winter wonderland — but we need your help to make it sparkle!
We’re currently looking for:
🎄 Used Christmas Decorations
We especially need outdoor décor, ornaments, lights, blow-ups, artificial Christmas trees (they do not need to light up — we can take care of that part!). Any gently used or extra decorations you’re willing to donate will help bring the magic to life.
🎁 Wrapped Empty Boxes (Lots of Them!)
To create beautiful gift-themed displays around the event, we are asking families to donate wrapped empty boxes of all sizes — think “presents” for décor. If you’re able to drop off one or twenty, we will happily use them to transform our space! Please wrap them in festive paper with lids attached or taped shut so they can easily be stacked and arranged.
📸 Statement Pieces for Photo Areas
Have any large or eye-catching decorations — oversized props, archways, backdrops, winter-themed pieces — that we could borrow for the evening? We will handle everything carefully and return items gently and promptly.
🎅 Character Contacts
Do you know a Santa, Olaf, Frosty, Jack Frost, Elsa, or Anna who might be willing to join us for photos with students? Special guests make the night truly magical!
🤩 Crafty Volunteers
If you enjoy crafting and would love to help us create vibrant new décor, the PTA Board will be gathering soon to make winter magic together. We’d love for you to join us!
💪 Event Volunteers
We need help with set-up and decorating, supervising during the event, assisting at stations, and cleanup afterward. Every hour of help makes a huge difference!
Every contribution — big or small — helps us create a truly special celebration for our Fantastic Flamingos.
If you’d like to donate, volunteer, or share character contacts, please email us at FantasticFlamingoPTA@gmail.com.
Thank you for helping us make the season bright. Together, we can create a beautiful, festive Winter Ball for all our Sabal Palm families! 💕
Warmly,

📢 Hello Sabal Palm Families,

Please take a moment to review the upcoming F.A.S.T. testing dates to ensure your child is present on their scheduled testing days. It is very important that students are in attendance so they can test in the best possible environment and perform to their fullest potential. 📚✨

Your child’s results also help teachers plan targeted instruction based on their individual needs. 🎯

We ask for your support in making sure your child arrives at school by 8:30 a.m. on testing days, well-rested and ready to do their best! ⏰💪

Thank you for partnering with us to support student success at Sabal Palm Elementary! 🙂🦩
