Hello Sundance Families!
Thank you for joining our Friday Flag and Principal's Coffee this morning! If you were unable to join, please take a look at the STEAM Showcase announcement below with details about the timeline, project requirements, and rubrics. This week we were visited by the PUSD Communications Department. The video linked here highlights our programs and events offered at Sundance.
Don't miss next week's student-led Mindful Monday-ish.
This is also a reminder that we do not have school on Monday, January 30th. I look forward to celebrating the 100th Day of School on February 2nd. Please send your wildcats dressed like a 100 year old. We will also make 100 positive calls on Thursday so please don't be alarmed if you get a call from our school at 8am!
