Dear Sunrise Drive Families,
I am honored to share with you that Bill Dodds will be
recognized as a Catalina Foothills School District Super Volunteer to the CFSD
Governing Board on Monday, September 21 at 6:30 PM. Mr. Dodds has served as a
playground volunteer since his granddaughter began attending Sunrise Drive as a
first grader. Mr. Dodds partners with staff members to cultivate a school
environment that fosters a sense of belonging for each student. Mrs. Kupper
shared, “I am grateful that he is on campus and so supportive about what we do
here at Sunrise for students.” Mr. Dodds enthusiastically arrives each morning
at 7:35 with a smile and basketball in hand welcoming the students to a new
school day. A fifth grader shared,
“He helped me shoot better and play better. He is really nice!” Each day Mr.
Dodds exhibits the Spirit of Sunrise with his kind and respectful interactions
with all students.
We anxiously await
cooler temperatures to align with the calendar, which indicates we are entering
the fall season. In Tucson, this
signals the time to plant the “cool-weather” crops we enjoy, such as carrots,
lettuce, peas, and broccoli. Every grade level will be utilizing our outdoor
garden classroom during the upcoming months. The FFO generously supports our
garden activities by purchasing seeds, seedlings and equipment.
We need your help
to clean up our campus and prepare our garden plots on Saturday, October 3.
Please join us with your wheelbarrow and broom between 7:00-12:00 noon. We need
your help to have the gardens ready for October planting. Please click on the

Up.
