Raising Canes Spirit Night

We are VERY excited to have another spirit night planned for May 15th at the 10986 S State Street location. Please see the attached flyer for details and we hope you’ll join us!

PTA Fundraiser Total

Our PTA are still in awe of the generousity from our Sunrise community! The fun in the sun run was able to bring in a total of $24,000 dollars and will contribute to the following programs next year: Teacher Appreciation, Book Fair, Field Trips, Reflections, Elementary Masters Art, College Day, Red and White Ribbon Week, Watch Dogs, Grown-ups and Goodies, NOVA,

Grants to the School, Read Across America Week, Reading Incentives, Book Blitz, Classroom Parties, Field Day and Junior Achievement. In addition to these programs, we are planning to purchase a spirit wear shirt for every student next year! None of these would be possible without your support, so THANK YOU!

Book Blitz Jr 2023-24 Book Lists

Summer is a great time to get in some extra reading! If your student is interested in joining Book Blitz Jr next year, check out the list of books attached to this newsletter and they can get a head start. Book Blitz Jr is open for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. Third graders have a separate reading list and 4th and 5th graders share the list of books. Happy reading!

Lost & Found

As a reminder, the lost and found is FULL of hoodies, coats and other items. These will be donated the Monday after school is out, so please check for any lost items!

Safety Reminder

Parents parking their car in front of the school to pick up their student at the end of school day should be exiting their car, walking over to the school sidewalk to join their student when walking to their car.
