𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝟰/𝟭𝟵/𝟮𝟰
Sunnyside Community,

First of all I want to say thank you so much for the amazing auction last Friday night. Not only did we raise above and beyond our goal, we had such a fun night celebrating our mutual love of Sunnyside. Thank you a million times over.

This week we have been celebrating our warmer weather by heading outside to enjoy a few field trips and take some walks. Eric's class visited SCRAP PDX, Frances to Experiment PDX, Becca and Mary's classes headed to Lone Fir Cemetery, Carrie's class to Oaks Bottom, Mary Gage and Sarah to Reed Cooley Gallery. Robin and Micheal's classes were able to visit the Buddhist Temple and we also welcomed Northwest Noggin to have our 4th graders look at brains!

There will be an Earth Day Celebration at Sunnyside tomorrow (not put on by Sunnyside) and many of our students will be participating to earn service hours. Our middle schoolers are busy earning their service hours and participating in end of year events. Speeches have started and per usual, the students are thoughtful, introspective, and full of wisdom. It is a pleasure knowing your kids.

Thank you for all you do!
Eryn
