TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK SUCCESS!
Thank you to all the families and PTA volunteers who helped lead daily events here at Sunrise, making our teachers feel truly appreciated and loved! From tie-dying, donuts, and a diner-themed luncheon to an 80s-themed photo booth, colorful posters, chalk art, and special mementos made by students—it was a week full of joy and gratitude. A special thank you to Vanessa Varma, our Teacher Appreciation Chair, and [insert name] for coordinating such a thoughtful and memorable celebration. None of it would have been possible without the support of our many volunteers and the enthusiastic participation of our families—thank you for making this week so special!
UPCOMING SOL ASSESSMENTS
One of the best ways to support your child during this time is by ensuring they get a good night’s rest and a healthy breakfast each morning. It’s also especially important that students arrive on time and are present on testing days to avoid missing or needing to make up an assessment.
We also encourage you to help keep stress low—remind your child that these tests are just one way to show what they’ve learned, and they are ready! Our students have been working hard all year—building on what they’ve learned and developing new skills. We’re confident they’ll do great!

Please be mindful that if your child has medication in the clinic, it must be picked up by a parent or guardian no later than the last day of school. For safety reasons, medication cannot be sent home with students. Any medication remaining after the last day of school will be discarded.

The Sunrise Valley - Fox Mill Basketball Challenge is a long-standing tradition that students love. We're now recruiting 4th and 5th grade parent leads for next year, so that we can confirm with Fox Mill our participation for 2025-2026.
Why are we recruiting leads now for an event that won't happen for a year? Because the date must be set and the SLHS gym reserved over the summer.
5th Grade parents: If your child loves basketball and is expecting to play next year, sign up to lead to ensure this event happens! We need at least two parents to commit to putting this event on before we tell Fox Mill we have the green light to go for next year. Contact Jennifer Glynn to learn more about what's required.
Have a 4th grader who'll want to play in two years? Sign up to help with concessions! Escape the loud noise of the gymnasium, and learn the ropes of this event to be on-deck to lead it for your child in 2027.
