This year's AGM is on Wednesday, June 9 at 7pm, via Zoom. All parents of students registered at Sunnyside for the 2021/22 school year are invited to nominate, and vote in, next year's PAC team. It's a great way to meet parents, get to know Sunnyside's principals and teachers, and make a genuine difference in your child's school. The Zoom links to the meeting are below. Hope to see you all there!

We live in a busy neighbourhood, but we can make a difference. We are asking for parents to help out from 8:15 to 8:30am, by wearing a safety vest, and walking on the sidewalks along the school, as a visual deterrent. Please contact jennifer@sunnysidepac.ca, to volunteer.
On Friday, June 11, our grade 7 students will be receiving their certificates and medallions, a proud moment for students and their families. We wish that success, strength and compassion follows them in everything that they do. Good luck in high school!
Our class of 2021 students will be attending grade 8 at the new Grandview Heights Secondary. The first Grandview Meeting is on Thursday, June 10 at 6:30pm, online through Zoom. All parents are welcome. The meeting includes a vote for the Grandview PAC.
