As we head into Winter Break, we’re wishing all Sunrise Valley families a joyful, restful season and a happy start to the new year.
When we return in January, we’re excited to kick off a busy and fun second half of the school year - starting with our first PTA meeting of 2026 and a creative Yearbook Cover Design Contest students can work on over the break.
Looking ahead, we’re also thrilled to bring back favorite PTA-sponsored programs and events like Spring Enrichment, the Spelling Bee, Show What You Know, and the Basketball Challenge. These opportunities to celebrate learning, creativity, and community are made possible by our incredible volunteers and supportive families.
Thank you for being such an engaged and generous community. We look forward to seeing you in the new year and all that’s ahead at Sunrise Valley!
