Dear
Parents and Community:
It
is an honor to share with the Sunrise community our
annual report. Sunrise
Elementary was built in 1980 and is located on the
corner of 24th and Adams.
The building, with a flexible classroom design,
remains in excellent condition and its gym, library,
activity room and playing fields are in high demand
during evenings and weekends.
We have many celebrations which could not have been
accomplished without the support and encouragement of
our community. The
staff, volunteers, and families at Sunrise strive
cooperatively to prepare our students to participate
and succeed in a global society.
Our parent/teacher organization (PTO) is a critical
part of the team at Sunrise.
It plays an important role in the atmosphere,
as well as the education of our students. The focus of the P.T.O. is to involve families and plan
activities that encourage a strong relationship
between school and home.
Their purchase of a computer lab has been a
marvelous benefit to the students and staff.
The Sunrise staff is a team of hard working and caring
professionals dedicated to working in partnership with
our community to instill in our children the
confidence to be successful learners and contributing
members of our society. The enthusiasm and commitment of the Sunrise staff nurtures
an atmosphere that promotes safety and life-long
learning, while appreciating individual differences.
We continue to strive toward meeting our goals
on the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL).
The days set aside for staff development coupled with
the funds we received from grants provide the staff
the opportunity to participate in workshops to improve
their teaching skills in the areas of reading,
writing, math, and technology.
It is truly an honor and privilege to have the
opportunity to work at Sunrise and to know that
together we can make a difference. The Sunrise staff
and students extend a warm and open invitation for you
to visit us.
Sincerely,
Susan
McCollum
Principal
