A message from the principal
Happy New Year
We hope everyone was able to enjoy time with family and friends, and find some time to relax over the winter break!
Our Character Strong trait for the month of January is Perseverance. PurposeFull People define perseverance as pushing yourself to work through challenges and obstacles. Here are some things you could do as a family:
- Like a resolution, each family member commits to one thing and keeps track of their progress.
- Share personal stories of times you, or someone you know, persevered.
We are excited to continue to see our Lion's persevere and achieve great things!
Happy New Year!

After a successful fall fundraiser, PTO generously purchased t-shirts for every student at Sunrise. Students will wear their t-shirts on field trip days, school spirit days, and of course, any day of the week. We have loved seeing our Lion's proudly wearing their Sunrise shirts! Thank you, Sunrise PTO!
