Our Sandite Varsity wrestling team is competing in Dual State this weekend. The team won their dual yesterday defeating Edmond North. The team will wrestle Choctaw today.
We are proud of both our men and women's Sandite basketball teams who earned the opportunity to host their regional tournament at home at the Ed Dubie Fieldhouse. Great job Sandites!
We have spoken to a variety of groups within our community about our Bond Election that is coming up on March 5. We have gotten extremely positive feedback but must keep this momentum going. Help us spread the word about the great things this bond will bring to our students! Encourage folks to visit www.sandites.org to get more information. Remind folks there will be 2 propositions on the ballot - the first for all the building projects and the other for transportation. Both are important to Sand Springs Public Schools!
