Sunrise FFO Digest - October 2020

October 23: FFO General Meeting
October 25: Teacher Appreciation Volunteer Opportunity
October 26: Return to In-Person Learning

I am excited to report that we reached our $19,000 fundraising goal for a shade structure! Through many donations and one generous lead gift, we came together as a community and accomplished a remarkable thing! I am proud to be part of this amazing, kind, and hardworking Sunrise community.

We have a general FFO meeting this Friday, October 23 at 8:00 a.m. via Zoom. We love your participation and input, especially as in-person learning resumes.

The FFO continues to raise funds to make in-person learning more comfortable for staff and students. We'd like to purchase plexiglass dividers for lunch tables so that students can sit closer together and communicate more easily with each other. To support that effort, donate today.

Donate via MTK! Donate via PayPal!

Want to help in another way? The school is accepting donations of disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer and disposable masks. Sign-up to donate via MTK.

We appreciate your generosity!

-Anjala Matalone, President

Sunrise T-shirt

Don't let coronavirus keep you from showing your Sunrise pride! We've moved t-shirt sales online with Custom Ink, so whether you are remote or in-person learning, you can still purchase a new t-shirt. All orders will be shipped directly to your house. Best of all, a portion of sales will benefit the school! Order your t-shirt today.

Are your kiddos forever losing their sweatshirts, water bottles, or lunch bags? Stop feeding the Lost & Found with these nifty labels that help keep your student's items clearly identified. Search for "Sunrise Drive Family Faculty Organization." The FFO will receive 20% of the profits.

Do you have web page design or social media skills and want to help our Sunrise Drive School community stay connected? The FFO is looking for helping hands to keep the FFO website and social media accounts updated with the latest info. Send us an email at web@sunriseffo.org if you are interested!
