Sunrise Family Updates
10.6.23
Hi Sunrise Families!
Hi All - We are excited to announce the launch of our new district and school websites next week. Below is a graphic as to how you will navigate it. It is much more mobile friendly and we hope you like the updates.
This afternoon is our first day of Sunrise Clubs. Once a month from 2 - 2:40 p.m., students take part in a club of their choosing. This is a great opportunity for students to explore their interests and form stronger relationships with their club leader and members. Some club examples are: Legos, basketball, knitting, theater, art, Hogwarts, Battle of the Books and many more. Please ask your child about this. :)
Thank you for working on those PTO Fundraising BINGO cards and thank you for all who donated a costume. We hope to see you on October 13th for the Costume exchange. If you donated a costume, you will receive your voucher there. Otherwise, all costumes will be $10.
Finally, there was a recent study that cited the harmful effects of yelling at children. The research showed that childhood verbal abuse can be as harmful as other forms of abuse. Below is a step by step response model that can be used to respond to misbehaviors. I found it very helpful to me as a parent and wanted to share it with you. Thank you for all you do!
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Katie Smullen
Sunrise Principal

Attention 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade Boys Basketball Parents/Guardians!
The basketball season is quickly approaching, which means it is time to begin preparing for our Youth Boys Basketball season. We are very excited to be getting started very soon! This message is to inform everyone about our new registration process, our upcoming parent/guardian meeting, and the forming of our new third grade team.
Registration is now open for our 4th-8th grade boys teams! To Register, please fill out this form by Monday, October 23rd!
Our 4th-6th grade teams will participate in the Door/Kewaunee Area 4/5/6 Boys Basketball League once again this season. All three grades will play on the same night, at the same place, against the same opponent.
All teams (4th-8th grade) will have the opportunity to participate in the NWBBL Saturday Tournaments along with any additional tournaments decided upon by the team at the Coach's discretion.
Practices for all teams will be held a few days per week as well. The 4th-6th Grade practice schedule will be communicated to everyone at our Parent/Guardian meeting. The 7th & 8th Grade Practice Schedule will be communicated following the Middle School season.
Our annual Parent/Guardian Meeting will be held on Monday, October 23rd at 7:00 PM in the Middle School Commons.
Very important information regarding the season including team schedules, volunteering/fundraising, our NWBBL host date, and much more will be communicated at this meeting, so it is very important that you attend!
We are very excited to be offering a 3rd grade team this upcoming season!
Registration and scheduling will be organized slightly differently due to this being a new opportunity for the program, which will be communicated to interested players at a later date.
To begin to prepare for the 3rd grade season, we will be hosting an introductory open gym in the high school gym on Sunday, October 8th from 5:00 - 6:00 PM. At the conclusion of that open gym, we’ll have a short meeting with parents/guardians who are able to join. During this meeting we will discuss a cadence for open gyms, practices, games, and tournaments throughout the fall and winter.
If your third-grade boy is interested in giving basketball a try, please call or text Coach Ben Vander Velden at (303) 489-5369. Parents interested in helping coach will be much appreciated.
Let's Make it a Great Season!
We are very excited to get started with the 2023-24 Youth Boys Basketball Season! If you have any further questions or concerns at this time, please feel free to direct them to the Varsity Boys Basketball Head Coach, Zach Goblisch (zgoblisch@sbsdmail.net).
The 4th Graders and their families did an amazing job fundraising at Culvers for their Madison Field Trip!
