Mark your calendar for the SES Spring Auction & Celebration on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 5:30 โ€“ 9:30 p.m. at Revolution Hall's Show Bar! Tickets to the event go on sale March 10, and the online auction is live from April 7 - April 18.

This year, weโ€™re rewinding to an iconic day of the school year โ€” School Picture Day โ€” and giving it the full gala glow-up. Think crisp collars, bold choices, and the outfit you begged to wear (or absolutely did). Come dressed in your fanciest look, channel your childhood photo-day energy, or remix a real throwback from your own school portrait era.

Expect vintage school vibes with a polished twist: hall passes, headshots, nostalgia, and just enough mischief to make your inner kid proud. Weโ€™ll be striking poses, swapping lore about our chosen 'fits, and raising critical funds for the SES programs we know and love.

Hereโ€™s your homework: dig out a favorite school photo from days gone by and bring it along (or submit it in advance!) to help us build a gallery of picture-day memories throughout the space.

Funding for public education is far from Picture Perfect, but this night is sure to be! Stay tuned for more info soon.

Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) final rounds for both 3-5th grade and Middle School were held this week. Congratulations to the Book Beasts (3-5) and the Bookworms (6-8) who will be representing Sunnyside at OBOB Regionals on March 14!

In addition to the Book Beasts and Bookworms, finalists included the MarshMELLAs and the Brilliant Bookmarks, who all did a great job!

We had a total of 19 teams and 88 kids participating in OBOB at Sunnyside this year. Shout out to the Library Lions, Smarties, Book Beasts, Radical Reading Rabbits, MarshMELLAs, Cliff Hangers, the Banana Slug Book Club, Rah Readers, Book Busters, Team Zom, Exploding Pineapples, Book Nibblers, Million Dollar Books, Brilliant Bookmarks, Reading Rats, An Occasionally Happy OBOB Team, Bookworms, and Return of the Hawkeyed Readers. The kids read a ton and showed a great deal of dedication, perseverance, teamwork, bravery, and sportsmanship and they should all be very proud of themselves!
