Weekly Wildcat
May 21, 2021
Happy Friday, Sundance Families,
I hope our wildcats had a wonderful week! Our VLA and on-campus students participated in PE this week. As many of you have heard, our ESS supervisor, Daniel, accepted a counseling position in PUSD. We are thankful for his leadership and collaboration this school year. I'm happy to share that Kailey Hill will be joining our team as our new ESS supervisor in June. She comes to us with 9 years of ESS experience. I hope to see everyone at our upcoming parent coffee!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs. Katz, principal

Foundation / PAC News
Can you believe we are already thinking about next school year!? We are looking for someone to help with our Capital Campaign/Red Envelope fundraiser for the 2021-2022 school year. If you enjoy fundraising and have a passion for enhancing your child(ren)’s access to music, art, physical education, science labs and more please reach out to Candice Young @ candice248@yahoo.com. Time commitment is minimal!
Additional committees that need support next year include Jog-A-Thon (Get Movin’) and Auction. Like other committees, these have the assistance of other parents that can help guide the way! Your help is greatly needed as these parents are entering their last year at Sundance and we need new parents to help maintain these special events! Contact Candice Young @ candice248@yahoo.com for more info!
Stay up to date and be sure to join our Facebook Group - Sundance PAC & Foundation for all the latest updates on events, volunteering and more!
- Our next meeting will include voting in of new and re-elected board members and approval of the initial Foundation budget for 2021-2022.
