Yearbook Needs Your Help

Sunrise Valley Families - We are working hard to create a yearbook like
none other to match a year like none other, but WE NEED YOUR HELP!

While we are sad that we won't be able to include photos from events
that have now been cancelled this semester, we do have the opportunity
to let our students show what activities they are doing from home while
practicing social distancing, as this is sure to be a memory that stays with
them. Please submit the following pictures of your student(s) for the
yearbook:

Photos of what your kids are doing from home (Google classroom,
reading, Zoom chats, art projects, music, cooking, fort making, etc)

Any photos from the 2019 - 2020 school year, we especially need Fall
Festival, Science Night, Great Arts & Amazing Earth.

Please upload your photos by Thursday April 2nd.  Enter school code 21466

Remember to buy your yearbook by April 20th for only $14! You can purchase your yearbook online and  then enter school order number: 21466 or call 1-866-287-3096.

Thank you. We really appreciate your help and hope the yearbook can bring some joy and closure for us all. 

Stay healthy!
