Great teachers and we have a wonderful principal who genuinely cares about not only about her students but also her staff!!
We have a great staff that care about kids and work hard to make sure they learn. The kids are fabulous.
I love Sunset Lake Elementary! The teachers here are phenomenal, they really care about the kids at the school and they care about the community too. The principal is very involved at the school and comes out to visit and socialize with the students before and after school. I also see the principle, as well as, many teachers participating in many school fundraisers. The school has initiated many health and fitness programs this year at the school to help encourage a healthy lifestyle for the students. One of them is the mile club, the students meet once a week during recess and walk or jog a mile around the soccer fields. Once the students have accomplished a mile, they earn 'dog tags' that can be worn on a necklace. They also have a great reading program, where the students earn points for each read book and then tested on to gage reading comprehension. As the students earn points they receive rewards in the form of prizes and even group field trips. One of the best programs that Sunset Lake has launched is called Generous Hands,Inc. This is a backpack program that sends nutritious food home with kids on fridays, so that the child has some nurtritous food over the weekend. This program was started due to numerous kids going hungry, especially over the weekend when they didn't have access to school meals. More information on this program can be viewed at www.generoushands.org I love Sunset Lake Elementary! The teachers there are everything you hope a teacher to be!
Sunset Lake is a wonderful school with great teachers and parents who are very involved. I couldn't choose a better school for my children. :)
