The easiest way to HELP!

The Parent Association relies on your participation in the Smith’s Earn & Learn Program and direct donations from the Sandia Community to support our activities and functions.  Our parent donations are down about 67% this year, and our Smith’s Earn and Learn receipts are down about  22%.   This is making it hard to fund all of the activities we have in the past.  How can you help?  If you shop at Smith’s, please make sure your Rewards Card is linked to Sandia High School.  Also, please consider making a direct donation to the Parent Association.  Our suggested donation is $40, but of course we are happy with any amount you contribute.  We are a 501(c)3  organization, so your donation is tax deductible.  Sandia parents are the best – thanks so much for your support!
