Weekend Updates - 10/5

Here are the Term 1 - Updated Grades - 10/4/19 that I sent home to your families this weekend.

A reminder that you should be reading 20-30 minutes DAILY, including on the weekends!!!

Tomorrow is Garden Day from 9:00 - 1:00 at SES. You are all highly encouraged to go!!!! This is a part of our service learning!

Garden Day THIS Sunday, October 6, 9:00-1:00

For a few hours each Fall and Spring, Sunnyside families come together to take care of the school grounds on what we call "GARDEN DAY." The productivity we can accomplish during this short amount of time is incredible if people show up! Drop by and work for however long you can between 9:00am-1:00pm. Projects that require adult-sized bodies, brains, and tools will be the priority. There will also be small tools and smaller jobs for young people. Please do not drop off your student, there will not be supervision- this is a community event, we encourage you to come as a family or together in chaperoned groups.

For more information on Garden Day, please visit our Garden Day Event Post or contact SES Garden Coordinator Steph at sunnysidesustainability@gmail.com.
