A Message from the Principal

October 2, 2015

Dear Sunrise Drive Families,

Last weekend was filled with fun! It was a pleasure to see so many of you at the Family Picnic and Play event last Friday evening.  Students spent time with their family and friends as they ate dinner together, played on the playground and the enjoyed the book fair.  On Saturday, over 100 Sunrise Drive students participated in the University of Arizona Confucius Institute Language Day.  An audience of proud parents enjoyed the performance of our Kindergarten through grade 3 students. 

On Thursday, October 1, Student Council met for the first time.  Any student in grades 1-5 who would like to devote their lunch-recess to be a leader by serving the community may participate.  Student Council meets each Thursday during the grade level lunch-recess time.  Yesterday, we prepared signs to invite you to join us for Family Fix-Up and Garden Clean Up tomorrow, Saturday, October 3 for our campus wide clean up. Please join us with your wheelbarrow and broom between 7:00-12:00 noon. We will be repainting the blue line and adding yellow footprints at the request of the Kindergarteners in Ms. Prickett’s class. Students will be planting this year, and we need your help to have the gardens ready for October planting. By the end of the morning, we would like all plant debris removed from the garden and all the compost that was delivered on Thursday moved to the class plots.

During the month of October, students will be planting cool weather crops.  We thank the Sunrise Drive FFO for supporting our gardening with the purchase of seeds and seedlings.  A special thank you to Emily Franklin for organizing our school-wide gardening activities.  If you have some time to devote to working in the garden with the students, please contact your child’s teacher.

We look forward to seeing you on campus!

Sincerely,
Andrea Davidson
Principal
