Sunrise Family Updates

Dear Sunrise Families - I hope this message finds you well! It has been pure joy to watch our students enjoy our new playground. The PTO Fall and Friends event was a hit and the Grand Opening Ceremony will live on as a very happy memory for our entire school. Thank you for all of you who attended or watched it on Facebook!

Please enjoy the updates below and photos from a brief bunny visit, in addition to a lot of playground joy!

Sincerely,

Katie Smullen

Sunrise Principal

Because the concern for our children in the digital age is shared throughout Door County (and the nation), we are teaming up with our neighboring school districts. Throughout the school year, we will take turns hosting different parts of this video series. Thank you for considering joining us on 10/29 at Sevastopol with time for discussion afterward.

Sevastopol School District will be hosting a county-wide informational forum and discussion on Tuesday, October 29, beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Join professional educators, community partners and families for a special screening of “Screenagers—Growing Up in the Digital Age”.

Screenagers is about the impact of the digital age on children and how to help them minimize harmful effects and find balance around screen time.

The stories and science behind the message are significant, and the discussions to follow will help you feel better equipped to manage devices with your child(ren).

Please view this trailer for more information https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CgkFp9k-bI or contact the school for more information.

The event is free and open to the public. No prior registration is necessary. Sevastopol School is located at 4550 Highway 57. Enter school through door #1 in the southeast corner of the building.

DIRECTIONS: From Highway 57 turn east onto Ripp Road (located just south of school). Drive approximately ¼ mile and take Pioneer Way.

This drive will take you to parking and the school’s primary entrance. Enter through door #1 and the Carl Scholz Pioneer Room is straight ahead and adjacent to the atrium.

During the month of October, 4th graders are asking ALL Sunrise students to help with our community service project: SOCKTOBER! Our goal is to collect 1,000 pairs of *new* socks to be donated to Feed and Clothe My People. Socks are one of the most requested items for donation, and with winter coming up, everyone needs warm, cozy, and comfortable feet!

There will be one box for each grade level near the cafeteria. You can donate a single pair of new socks, or a package of socks will count for the number of pairs in that package. The grade level that collects the most pairs will receive a popcorn and juice party! The competition starts Tuesday, October 1st and goes until Thursday, October 31st.

Thank you for helping with our project!
