Career Exploration Day is Friday, May 1!

Grades 2 through 5 will begin Career Exploration Day at 8:30 and the kindergarten and first grade students will begin learning about careers at 12:00. Students and teachers rotate to different stations as they learn about different careers. Students will hear from parent volunteers about careers in aviation, law enforcement, veterinary medicine, the forest service, being a realtor, army recruiting, and about the game and fish department.

They will learn what interests, values, and skills drew people into these professions, the education, and training needed to pursue these professions, what motivates people to seek these careers, what a ”typical” workday entails, and the pros and cons of these careers.

Best of all, students will have the chance to ask questions! It is a great opportunity for our students

to learn about the variety of opportunities in the workforce and how people can follow their interests to enhance the world they live in! You may want to ask your student what they learned!

History comes alive at Sunset School when "historic figures" make presentations at the 4th Grade Wax Museum! The museum opens Thursday, May 7, from 12:45-2:45 pm in the Sunset Commons. Our 4th graders worked hard researching their historical person and preparing an informative script. Use the gold coins provided to watch them come to life! The fourth grade students are so excited to showcase their effort and hard work!

Sunset 4th and 5th graders are gearing up for the annual 4th & 5th grade track meet, Wednesday, May 13, at Spike Vannoy Field. For your information:

Our third-grade students have been working hard to develop lemonade stand businesses in hopes of raising money to donate. The Sunset Lemonade Stand event is May 19th from 1:00-2:45, in the Kiss-n-Go Lane. All proceeds from the lemonade stand will be donated to the Park County Animal Shelter. Each delicious glass of lemonade will cost 50¢!

The last day to check out books from the Sunset School Library is Friday, May 15th! All books need to be returned to the library by Friday, May 22nd!

All elementary school 4th grades in Park County School District 6 participate in a Rendezvous to learn about this period in western history. This year Sunset School is hosting the Rendezvous on Tuesday, May 19. Students will attend presentations about Indian games, pioneer nutrition, weaving, Wyoming trains, western art, and bears. There will even be a trading post!

No student medications are allowed to be kept at school over the summer months, therefore if you left medication at the school for your student to take this school year you will need to collect the

medication(s).

PICK UP BY:

• Friday, May 22 - Students who only have "as needed" medications (nothing daily & no emergency medications; i.e. cold medications, Tylenol, allergy meds, etc.)
• Friday, May 29 - Students who take daily medication or have emergency medications (i.e. inhalers, Epipens, seizure meds)

Any medication not picked up by Friday, May 29 at 1:35 pm will be discarded. The school nurse cannot send any medication home with your student so parents will need to make arrangements to pick these up yourselves. Please call me if you have any questions.

Thank you and have a happy, sunny summer!
