Dear Sunnyslope Families,

It has been an incredible year

full of learning! Most recently,

I had the opportunity to see

our fifth graders shine bright

at Camp Seymour. We are so

proud of your children for

taking risks by trying new

things. It seems zip lining,

canoeing and exploring

reptiles were the favorite

activities this year!

Sunnyslope staff continues to

connect learning to

enrichment opportunities for

our students. This includes

visiting the Tacoma Art

Museum, Point Defiance Zoo,

Mount Saint Helens, and the

Museum of Flight. As a

result, our Super Stars have

been fantastic scientists and

artists. We are so grateful

for our amazing Sunnyslope

Community helping

chaperone these events.

I hope your children have

been sharing about their

learning.

As we prepare for next year,

staff will be working hard on

class placement. If you

would like to share parent

input for placement, please

write me a note or send me

an email with the following

information: Your child’s

name, grade next year, and

Principal’s Message

Congratulations to our 5th Graders! Our celebration this year will be June 17th at 2:00 pm

South Kitsap School District announced that Olalla and Sunnyslope Elementary schools, and Cedar Heights, John Sedgwick and Marcus Whitman Middle Schools have been recognized as Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Distinguished Schools for providing broad access to transformative learning opportunities for students through PLTW LaunchTM (elementary) and PLTW GatewayTM (middle school).

The PLTW Distinguished School recognition honors schools committed to increasing student access, engagement, and achievement in their PLTW programs. Through PLTW programs, students develop STEM knowledge as well as in-demand, transportable skills that they will use both in school and for the rest of their lives, on any career path they take.

“It is a great honor to recognize South Kitsap School District schools for their commit-ment to students,” said Vince Bertram, President and CEO of PLTW. “They are a model for what school should look like, and they should be very proud of ensuring students have the knowledge and skills to be career ready and successful on any career path they choose.
