The Sunrise Student Council is organizing a project to benefit the Furry Friends Rockin’ Rescue. This nonprofit relies on community support to care for rescued animals and find them homes.  During the weeks of April 12 – April 23, students and staff are invited to bring change to school and deposit it in the Pennies for Pets container.  The money that is collected will be used to purchase needed items for the animals.

Also, during the weeks of April 12 – April 23, students may donate items for this project. To view types of items needed by Furry Friends Rockin’ Rescue, view their wish list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/4X4FM5906A6E?ref_=wl_share 

Donations may include slightly used animal toys.

Collection boxes will be located near the Sunrise entrance. 

To celebrate their own pets, students are invited to bring a copy of a photo (3x5 or 4x6) featuring their pet.  Members of the Student Council will be creating a bulletin board displaying these photos. Please send photos to school by Monday, April 12th and label the photo with your child’s name and teacher.
