A message from Alexa Pearson, our Assistant Principal Extraordinaire:

Hello parents and guardians, 

Upcoming extra-curricular service learning opportunities are starting to be announced and shared with students during middle-school Morning Meeting.   Earlier this week, the Children's Trust Climate Change Hearing in Eugene, this next Tuesday Sept. 13, was announced as a potential service opportunity.  Given that this takes place during school hours on a regular school day, coupled with an overwhelming amount of student interest, Sunnyside cannot provide or coordinate transportation for the event.  Students that are interested should communicate with their parents and arrange their own transportation and parent-excused absence from the school day. 

Information on the event can be found here:
