Sunflower Families,

The sickness bug has made its way to Sunflower Elementary. We've pushed just over 50 absences the past two days. We'd love to encourage everyone to keep their students home IF they are sick to keep the rest of our building as healthy as we can be. Our teachers are having their students frequently wash and sanitize their hands and our custodial staff is frequently cleaning surfaces and door handles to help mitigate the risk. Hopefully this is the worst of the sickness. Stay safe and healthy.

Jake Sims, Principal

Our Book Fair will be in full swing this week. If you would like to get a sneak peek or set your child up with an eWallet, here is the link:

Volunteers are still needed. Come help us and have fun with our shoppers at the Book Fair.

Thanks so much for your continued support!

The Sunflower PTO would like to provide meals for our amazing Staff February 18 & 19 but need your assistance in providing a few additional items.

Conference Menu:

- October 18: Baked Potato & Salad Bar with Soda Bar

- October 19: Chicken Sandwiches, Grab & Go Snacks with Soda Bar

Please Sign up for any open slots here: https://www.signupgenius.com/.../10C0F4BAFAF2DA4FCC61...

Deliver to the school on the date (February 18 or 19) that you signed up for by 9 am.

We have partnered with 2 incredible community partners who have donated main courses.

- Jason's Deli is providing Baked Potatoes on October 18

- Chick-fil-a is providing Chicken Sandwiches and cookies on October 19

But we still need your help to make the meals extra special! Thank you in advance!

We are starting to plan for the 26-27 school year. Please share with any families that might have a kindergartener.

If you have a child who will be 5 by Aug. 31, Andover Public Schools is ready to welcome them to kindergarten. Please click the link below to let us know you are planning to attend one of our elementary schools. Then, join us for Kindergarten Preview at 6 p.m. March 24 to learn all about life as an Andover kindergartener!
