Dear Sunnyside Families —

As educators, we look forward to this month all school year in anticipation of graduations, promotions and end of year celebrations. I'm deeply saddened that the senseless act of violence that took place in Texas yesterday has cast a shadow over what should be the most festive season of the school year.

Alumni Series

What makes Sunnyside so special? Our staff, students, alumni and this beautiful and colorful community, of course! We hear the words "Sunnyside is family", "Sunnyside es familia" often, and SUSD alumni can attest to this and how their experiences in school helped shape, and in some cases change the trajectory of their lives. In order to capture these inspirational stories and catch up with former students, we developed an ongoing video documentary, the SUSD Alumni Series. We hope you enjoy catching up with old friends as much as we do!
