The current measles outbreak in Clark County, Washington, raises questions about what parents should know to keep their children safe, and what their school will do if a case of measles is confirmed at their site. Follow this link to read more.
It is that time of year for the annual Sunnyside Environmental School (SES) Holiday/Christmas Tree Recycling Event with all monies raised benefiting the school’s Go FUND. The goal of Go FUND is to ensure that all students, regardless of financial resources, are able to fully participate in our curriculum-based overnight field trips. SES middle-schoolers earn community service credits by working on event logistics, our neighbors feel welcomed on the school grounds, and we provide a valuable service — including eastside tree pickup whether in the rain, hail, snow or sun.
In the spirit of recycling and a ‘circular economy,’ a local resource, Honl Tree Care, turns the trees into mulch chips, helping keep the perimeter school gardens well tended.
We offer both drop-off and pickup options and encourage early reservations via email or online. For residents who bring their trees to the school, we will have complimentary coffee, tea and hot cocoa. Invite your neighbors and help us promote the benefit!
