Ms. Lewis is still looking for some volunteers. Please email her at hclewiswilcox@cbe.ab.ca if you have current CBE police clearance and can help out.
Safety
This week we had our first practice fire drill. All students exited the school quietly and all students and staff were accounted for quickly.
We also had our first lockdown drill with support from a police officer. We were very proud of how students went to the green dot in their classrooms and sat quietly as they waited for the drill to be over.
Great job Sunnyside!
Reminder: There is no supervision for students before school until soft start at 8:30AM. We encourage students to come to school just before 8:30 so they can come right into the school.
