Sunset Lane Sunday Message

Dear Seahawk Families,

We hope you will join us in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! This is a wonderful time to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans. Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing stories, activities, and resources to help our students learn and appreciate this vibrant part of our community. As part of our ongoing school support efforts, our Dining for Dollars event is another great way to get involved. Not only will you enjoy a delicious meal, but a portion of the proceeds will go directly toward enriching programs for our students. It’s an easy and fun way to give back to the school community without the stress of meal planning. We hope to see you at Red Robin in La Habra this Thursday.

With warm regards,

Dr. Tracy Gyurina
