Weekly Wildcat
October 2, 2020
Dear Families,
This week we welcomed back our Preschool-5th Grade on-campus learners! It was wonderful to visit all of the classrooms and feel the excitement in the room. We also had a few special guests who were equally impressed with our level of preparedness. I'd like to thank Kimberlie Rens, Executive Director of Learning Support Services, Carol Osborne, Associate Superintendent of Learning Support Services, and Greg Mizel, Associate Superintendent of Student Support Services, for visiting Sundance.
Next week, we will kickoff our virtual No Place for Hate event. Students will participate in No Place for Hate pledge activities throughout the week. At the end of the week, you are encouraged to think bigger than just our community. Take the opportunity to share short videos or pictures using the hashtag #WhyNPFHMatters to twitter, facebook, and instagram to inspire people across the country to create a world that is No Place for Hate. Make sure to tag Sundance Elementary on Instagram or send your photo/video in a message!
I look forward to visiting all of our VLA and in-person classes next week! Have a wonderful weekend.
