Reminder - Kiddie Kollege starts up again this week on Tuesday at 10:30. We can't wait to see your Kollege students!
This week in the FCS classroom students helped to set up grow lights, our vermicompost bin and our new garden tower. Now we can compost our food scraps in the classroom. Soon we will plant seeds in the garden tower. Later this spring we will cook with the food the students grow!
The Sunburst Schools January 2024 Students of the Month were 10th grade student Gabe Bouttier and 6th grade student Raya Sagnella. Although these students were unable to attend the February board meeting to be officially recognized, the board still commended the students for their great efforts. Gabe and Raya will receive certificates for being named Student of the Month.
