No School - Presidents Day In observance of Presidents Day on Monday, February 17, 2025, Sunburst Schools will not have school.

Today the Honor Society completed a project which began during January's Day of Giving, when Honor Society members shared the story of Sadako and the 1000 Paper Cranes, and invited all students in grades 7-12 to create origami cranes as a gift to their school and community. NHS members then created hanging mobiles from the cranes, one of which will hang in the high school entryway, and one of which will hang in the public library. Per Sadako's story, the cranes serve as a reminder of hope, peace, and unity.
