Sunflower Families,

As we approach our holiday break and in the spirit of giving and gratitude, we would like to express our appreciation to all of our hardworking staff members who go above and beyond every day to create a positive learning experience for our students. Their dedication and commitment to our school and your students do not go unnoticed. Therefore, we believe showing our staff some extra gratitude is important.

To make this holiday season a little brighter for our staff, we are reaching out to request your support. We are organizing a small gesture of appreciation by collecting $5 gift cards to present to staff members. These gift cards will allow our staff to treat themselves to a well-deserved cup of coffee, a sweet treat, or a small indulgence that will brighten their day. If you are able to contribute, we kindly ask that you provide a $5 gift card to a popular coffee shop, bookstore, bakery, or other retailer.

Your generosity will undoubtedly contribute to making this holiday season special for our incredible staff. We will be collecting the gift cards until Wednesday, December 17th. You can drop them off at the office or send them into the office with your student. We will draw names each day and present them to each staff member.

Thank you for considering this request and for being an integral part of our supportive community. We wish you and your family a joyous holiday season and we thank you for your continued support of Sunflower.

Happy Holidays,

Jake Sims, Principal

Kansas State Statute 72-6251 requires all students enrolled in Kansas schools to receive a free annual dental screening. Sunflower will be providing a free dental screening to all students enrolled during this school year on 01/07/2026.

Oral health is vital to a child's overall well-being and ability to learn. While this screening is not a substitute for a visit to your dentist, it helps monitor students' dental health.

Passive consent is assumed. All students will be screened unless a parent or guardian requests to opt-out. To opt out: Please reach out to the Health Office via email at: barnesj@usd385.org

Thanks,

Jayna Barnes MHCL, BSN, RN
