We would love to see you at our upcoming FFO Meeting! It will be held Friday, September 23rd at 8:15 in the library! Join us for coffee and bagels! We have so many great upcoming events to talk about.

We need your help beautifying our campus! This monsoon season has been especially active and our garden could use some attention. Please join us with your kids the morning of Saturday, September 24th for as long as your schedule allows to help clean up our campus and get your hands dirty in the garden!

Family picnic and play is Thursday, September 29th. Make your weeknight fun and easy. Pick up dinner at Subway (mention Sunrise Drive and 10% will be donated to our FFO) then head to the school to play with friends and shop at the book fair!

Spiders and Ciders is back and the FFO is busy planning to make this year the best year yet. See below for info and how you can help!

Thank you all for making this Sunrise Community so special. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

It’s Book Fair Time! 

Build Bolder, Prouder, Stronger Readers and Support Sunrise Drive!

September 26th - September 30th

• Students may shop the Book Fair during their lunch recess. 

• Families may shop the Book Fair during the Family Picnic and Play on September 29th, 5:30 - 7:00pm

Set Up an eWallet Account to Shop!

• Students must have an eWallet, a safe and secure alternative to cash, to shop at the Book Fair during lunch recess. Simply create a free account to add funds and/or invite family and friends to contribute so your child can select their own books. Any unused funds can be spent at The Scholastic Store Online or used to fund a future eWallet.

• Families may shop the Book Fair using eWallet, credit/debit card, or mobile pay during the Family Picnic and Play event.

Can’t make it to the Book Fair? Shop at our school’s Online Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school.

Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:
