From The Principal
What an amazing field day we had last week! A huge thank you to Nicole Riley and her team, as well as our parent volunteers for helping to make fun memories for our scholars.
Our 5th grade choir also performed this week and we are looking forward to our 4th and 5th grade rock band performance on Thursday!
We are looking forward to celebrating our 5th graders next week as we send them off on their middle school journey!
One last reminder we still have about 130 students who have not completed annual enrollment. Please make this a priority this week so we can insure we secure the staff we will need for next year. Directions on how to complete this process are attached below. You will also see below we are raffling two summer themed prize for those who are enrolled by this Friday and another for those enrolled by next Wednesday.
As always it is an honor to serve as the Principal of Sunflower Elementary.

Lost and Found
From Miss Bones
Hello Sunflower Families!
It’s that time of year again--time to return all of your library books! The students have been receiving weekly notices on what they still need to return, but beginning Wednesday, May 19th, emails will start going out to families as well to help the books make their way back. Any book that is more than 6 months overdue will be assumed lost and a replacement fee will be added to your student’s account.
Thank-you for your help!
