Dear Sundance Community,

Thank you so much for your incredible support of our Red Envelope Campaign! Your generosity makes a direct and meaningful impact on our students' education. Among the many things these funds support, we are especially grateful for the ability to provide our students with a highly educated and trained PE teacher, STEM and Math Impact teacher, Music teacher, and Reading Impact teacher. These amazing additions enrich the educational experience for every student at Sundance, helping us to deliver a well-rounded and engaging curriculum.

Your commitment to our school is truly appreciated!

Warmly,

Jennie Mikels, Principal
