Helping. Every child. Reach. Optimal. Success.

We recognize that currently our volunteers are mostly moms, but kids deserve role models of ALL kinds. That's why we're thrilled to unveil our incredible new volunteer program, led by an experienced volunteer who is both "Grandpa" to two Sunrise students and "Dad" to a Sunrise teacher!

📅 Kick-Off Meeting
🗓️ Thursday, November 16th

This event is all about uniting our fantastic adult volunteers to explore NEW ways to make a difference:

APEX Fundraiser, October 23rd - November 2nd
We've got something exciting coming your way. From October 24th to November 2, we're kicking off our very first APEX all-school fundraiser, and we couldn't be more thrilled about it. APEX is a game-changer, combining dynamic leadership lessons with a fun all-school fitness event and the power of fundraising.

Here's the deal: on Tuesday October 24th all students will meet the APEX team and find out how to get involved in and outside of their time in class. Participating is a breeze – just log into your personal webpage and share the links with your family and friends. But hey, sharing is entirely optional. Even if students don't dive into fundraising, they're still in for an awesome time with the leadership program and a neon-tastic Dance Party Move Event at the end. 🕺💃 Stay tuned for more info later in October. Let's make this APEX adventure unforgettable, Sunrise! 💪✨
