Fun fact... today is National Bomb Pop Day!

Today a group of volunteers got together to keep working on the installation of the new privacy screen for our fences. While we still have a few spots left to finish, this project is well on its way to being completed.

A special thank you to the amazing group who came out in this heat to work on this project. Grab a bomb pop and cool off after all your hard work.

In honor of summer reading starting on May 20th, OCPS has chosen to set a goal for Sunset Park of 40,000 Beanstack minutes! This includes all students and teachers. Beanstack minutes recorded by students and teachers this summer count towards our school goal.

The district is awarding the school with the most minutes recorded in each grade band with an author visit.

Author #1 Lets meet Jarrett Learner
K-2 Students: Jarett Lerner, author of The Hunger Heroes, our ONE OCPS Reads K-2 book, recorded a special message just for you! Get to know his crew of super heroic taco ingredients. Haven’t read The Hunger Heroes yet? It’s not too late! Copies are available on Sora!

Author #2 Lets meet Karina Yan Glaser
3-5 Students: Join the Vanderbeeker kids on their campaign of kindness to save their home in Karina Yan Glaser’s The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street! Watch the video to see meet Karina’s pets and learn how to make a journal, too! Find the book on Sora, and enjoy the adventure!

A special thank you to the volunteers who joined us this morning (in the sprinkling rain) as we started our newest project! This summer we will be installing a privacy screen along the PE Pavilion and the playground. We were able to finish the fence but the PE Pavilion before we called it a day. Be sure to check it out if you are by the school.

If you would like to volunteer to assist with this project as we continue with the playground side of the building, please comment below, or send us a message!

Happy Father's Day to all of our Eagle Dads and Granddads!

We wish you a day full of all of your favorite people and favorite things!
