Sandy Creek community 💙

We need your help.

Raising funds for Sandy Creek Dollars for Scholars has become more challenging than ever. With changes to mailing addresses and increased privacy concerns around phone outreach, it’s harder to connect the way we used to—yet the cost of education continues to rise for our students.

As a nonprofit, 100% of the money we raise goes directly back to Sandy Creek students—supporting SCCS seniors and alumni through scholarships awarded each June. These awards make a real difference in helping our students take their next steps after graduation.

💻 Donating is now easier than ever!
You can support our students online in just a few clicks:

✨ New this year: We’re excited to offer tiered sponsorship levels with recognition, giving local businesses and community members a meaningful way to support and be acknowledged.

📅 Scholarship Reminder: Applications opened March 11th and will close at midnight on April 12th.

** Hey Friends!** 🎉

As we roll into the new school year, that means it’s FUNdraising time! Sandy Creek Dollars for Scholars is back in action—our nonprofit dedicated to funding scholarships for graduating seniors and alumni from our school district. This year, our goal is to raise a minimum of $10,000 to support bright futures. With the rising costs of higher education and economic headwinds, our mission is more critical than ever. 💪

One of our exciting fundraisers this year is with Rada Cutlery. We have a shopping link open all year long, making it easy to shop whenever it works for you. If you're not yet familiar, I can personally vouch for Rada: their kitchen tools are high-quality, affordable, and proudly made in the USA. 🇺🇸 Whether you're treating yourself or getting ready for the holiday season, these products make perfect gifts for you and your loved ones.

Why Your Support Matters

Average cost of a year of college (includes tuition, housing, supplies, etc.): around $38,270 per student

By comparison, trade school programs tend to be much more budget-friendly: Average annual cost: roughly $4,000-$17,000

How You Can Help?

By shopping via our Rada Cutlery link, you're not just getting quality products—you’re investing in students’ futures. Every dollar from purchases goes directly to scholarships. Together, we can make a real difference.
