Sunnyside families and neighbors enjoyed games, food, and dance performances at our annual SpringFest on May 22nd. Through your generous support of our gift sale, silent auction, art sales, plant sale, and raffle ticket sales, the PTA exceeded its fundraising goals for the event! The SpringFest funds will be used to pay for Reading Support Specialists, classroom stipends, field trips, administrative support, International Night, the read-a-thon, and many other PTA sponsored events and programs.
Our annual SpringFest has finally arrived!
Join us Saturday, May 22, 11-3 for food, games, entertainment, and more. There will be a Raffle and first-ever Silent Auction, both with awesome prizes. Student artwork, plants and assorted gifts will also be for sale.
All SpringFest proceeds provide funding for PTA sponsored programs in Academics, Art, Health & Wellness, and Science and support various Community Events throughout the school year.
Hope to see you there!
SFUSD has requested to meet with Sunnyside parents tonight (Monday, May 10) at 5:30 pm. Our search for a new principal will be discussed. We need to have a good turn out so the district can address the concerns of the Sunnyside Community. Please come tonight and speak up for an excellent Principal for Sunnyside!
Childcare will be provided.
Got an hour or two to spare on Saturday? Come to Sunnyside to help spruce up the school, inside and out.
Cleanup day is this Saturday, April 24, from 10 am to 3 pm. Several projects around the school yard that are almost complete, and just a little more work is needed to finish the jobs. Projects include:
- The tile wall around the play structure has just a few more feet to go
- Install a new “Sunnyside School” sign above the Kindergarten entrance
- Install a bike rack
- Move some planters
- Pull weeds
- Shampoo classroom carpets
- Fix other odds and ends around the school
Contact Cathy Meyer at 794-2203 or [email protected] if you can help.
Due to the generous donations Sunnyside has received, the PTA will run a silent auction in conjunction with the gift sale. Items to be auctioned include: 2 round trip tickets on Jet Blue airlines, Navarette Tae Kwon Do certificates, Pacific Coast Family Photo Session and more to be announced as SpringFest approaches. Look for updates to the silent auction and gift sale donations posted on a SpringFest Information Board on the first floor starting next week, or check back here for complete SpringFest information.
