Sunrise Family Updates
October 7th, 2022
Hi Sunrise Families!
I hope this update finds you well! We have had a lot of activity this past month, including: Fire Safety Assemblies with our Sturgeon Bay Fire Department, Vision and Hearing Screenings, Seal-a-Smile Dental Program, a visit from Griffon String Quartet and a Birch Creek Jazz Musician visit next week.
We have enjoyed a very warm start to fall, but the cold air is definitely on its way. Thank you for sending your child with a jacket on these cool days. It is a great idea to keep a hat and gloves in your child's backpack to be prepared. Students are also welcome to keep a set here at school.
Your child may come home talking about W.I.N. time (stands for What I Need) and S.U.N. time (Study Understand Navigate). These are intervention and extension groups in both Math and Reading, where students are getting targeted instruction based on the different assessments they completed. We have all hands on deck at this time so many of the groups are very small. Our goal is help students begin where they are at and grow immensely this year.
Next week is Homecoming in the land of the Sturgeon Bay Clippers! We are excited to celebrate with the following dress up days:
- Monday -- Grade level color - 3rd- Blue; 4th- Green; 5th- Black
- Tuesday -- Fancy Day (This is also Sunrise Picture Day!)
- Wednesday -- Sports Day
- Thursday -- Clipper Pride Day! Wear red or any Clipper gear!
- Friday - No School
Thank you for all of your support and for taking a moment to read a few more updates below.

Reading Buddy Volunteers Needed
Sunrise Elementary School is looking for adults interested in becoming a Reading Buddy to a student in grades 3-5. Reading Buddies allow our students to have some quiet reading time with an adult, while building a relationship. Reading Buddies can read aloud or listen and help a student read, they can discuss new vocabulary or ideas from the story. Reading Buddies meet one-on-one with a student, once a week for 15-30 minutes.
If you are interested in learning more about the Sunrise School Reading Buddy program, contact Lola DeVillers at 920-746-5915 or email her at ldevillers@sbsdmail.net.
