Sunburst Schools

Last week, Mrs. Nix and a group of 16 sophomores and juniors traveled to the Boone & Crockett Club at the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch near Dupuyer. While there, students engaged in a wide range of activities incorporating elements of math, science, history, and language arts, ensuring a truly cross-curricular experience and proving the adage that “nature is the best classroom.”

Thank you Sunburst Fire Department! Sunburst Schools wishes to thank the Sunburst Fire Department for their speedy response to an alarm going off at North Toole County High School on September 16th, 2024, at approximately 6pm. This alert ended up being a faulty alarm sensor so there was thankfully no issue, but we greatly appreciate the incredible response of our local fire department.

Attention students: this week only, the Booster Club is hosting a homecoming t-shirt design contest with one winner each from the elementary, junior high, and high school. Winners will receive a t-shirt featuring their design, and t-shirts featuring all three winning designs will be available for purchase during Homecoming festivities on Saturday, 9/28. All proceeds will be used to support our hometown Wildcats and Refiners. Have fun, be creative, and spread that homecoming spirit!

She funded the grant that was submitted through donorschoose.org, and we received 15 copies of the book "The Wild Robot." We are excited to read the story that inspired the movie coming out in theaters at the end of September!
