Dear Sunrise Drive Families,
Student Voice is a critical part of
nurturing a positive student mindset.
When students’ voices are heard, the students feel they are valuable
members of the learning community.
Student Voice can be shared and heard in a variety of ways. Student Council members value the
perspectives of their peers and have created a survey to collect their peers’
voices so that they can make good decisions as they represent their peers. The survey is being administered during
lunch periods using a Google Survey format loaded on iPads. The members circulate during the lunch
period and ask their classmates to complete the survey. The topics include recess, after school
activities, lunch items, and the campus.
Student Council will share the information collected and analyzed in the
upcoming months with the Sunrise Drive community. Please attend the February 24th FFO meeting to hear the
first report.
We would like to invite you to attend
our Sunrise Drive Rodeo Lunch.
Family members may join us for lunch on Wednesday, February 25 during
the regularly scheduled grade level lunches.

they square or line dance. We look
forward to enjoying our Rodeo Lunch with you!
We are also celebrating the Year of
the Sheep! Please join us on
Friday, February 20 from 6:00-7:30 for Spring Chinese Festival. We will have a formal presentation from
6:00-6:30. Then, families may
enjoy activities and dinner. The
activities include lantern painting, paper cutting, and Chinese name writing.
If you would like to have dinner, please pre-pay in the office or using the
online Parent Payment Portal on the SD website. The cost of dinner is $6.40 with a choice of Tofu Lo Mein or
Sesame Chicken and Asian Salad, Fried Rice and 2 Egg Rolls. You will need your
student identification number when placing your order. Please contact Marie Wickhorst if you
need help with this information.
Once the order is placed, print the receipt and bring it to the event
when picking up your order. We
look forward to a wonderful evening.
Many Sunrise Drive parents and staff have worked together to organize
this event. A special thank you is
extended to our student leaders in the Chinese World Language classes at
Catalina Foothills High School. We
will have 20 student volunteers supporting our event!
The Family and Faculty Organization
(FFO) supports the wonderful endeavors around campus. Our students’ field trips
and artists in residency programs are completely supported by the FFO.
Additional funds are provided to each classroom for special supplies. This year
the following grants have been awarded: garden supplies and education, Time for
Kids (2nd and 4th grades), and books for Chinese
Immersion classes. On February 19, our FFO will kick off the Math-a-Thon
fundraiser. We are very excited to
have our students and families thinking about math together. Please look for information about this
FFO fundraiser, which supports the rich experiences that your child benefits
from at Sunrise Drive.
Our Steppers have been moving on Thursdays! On Thursday, March 5th (11:00 to 1:00)
we will have a Sunrise Steppers Celebration! This will be a running event filled
with fun and surprises to recognize the students’ amazing accomplishment of
running over 3,000 miles this school year. The grade levels will participate during the lunch recess
period. Please contact Valorie Colson (vcolson@yahoo.com)
if you’d like to volunteer.
Registration for residents is due on February 13th. Registration for Kindergarten Plus is
being accepted. Please complete the registration materials and return the
documents to the Sunrise Drive office today. Marie Wickhorst is available to
answer questions at 209-7900.
Accurate registration will result in proper staffing at Sunrise Drive. Please submit the registration packets
today!
Finally, the lost and found on campus
has grown significantly! If you are on campus for one of our events, feel free
to stop by the lost and found to identify and claim items that may belong to
your child. Please encourage your child to visit the lost and found to pick up
their personal items soon. On March 2nd, any remaining items in the lost and
found will be donated to a local organization.
I wish you a wonderful weekend! I look forward to seeing you at one of
the upcoming events on campus!
Sincerely,
Andrea Davidson
Principal
