Want to find out more about the PTA
without attending meetings?
 
We have an email group that you can subscribe to that makes that possible.  Each month, this group receives emails containing things like meeting minutes, calls for volunteers, and previews of flyers that will go home.  

You won't receive daily or even weekly emails.  No one has time for that.  Most months, you will only receive 1-2 emails per month.  To be added, simply send an email to sunnyside621pta@gmail.com with subject line, "Email Blast".

Fundraising Opportunity for School-wide
Art Project

 

EVERY STUDENT can participate.

 

Would you like to help bring an artist to Sunnyside who will work with EVERY student to paint a permanent school mural?

Sunnyside is looking to raise the remaining money (after PTA support) to have an Artist in Residence the last week in January.

Shane Anderson, a Minneapolis based artist will come to our school and spend a full week working with EVERY student during their art specialist time to create a multi-paneled mural that will be permanently displayed at Sunnyside. 

We can’t make this happen without your help, and time is running short.  We need to raise these funds by January 17th.  It’s a very unique opportunity for every student to learn graphics and painting techniques from a successful local professional.  Any amount will help.

To directly donate (through a Sunnyside PTA account), go to:

www.kickstarter.com/projects/1269064915/sunnyside-student-mural
