Homecoming 2024 was one for the books! Students and staff spent Friday creating posters, decorating floats, and competing in class games (including the surprisingly difficult "Eat a Donut on a Stick"), before enjoying Saturday's parade & Homecoming games.
Thank you Logan Health for sponsoring the free BBQ at Homecoming 2024. Sunburst Schools and our community greatly appreciate your support.

T-shirt sale!! Stop by the Booster Club table near the fire hall after the homecoming parade to stock up on Refiner wear! T-shirts will also be available on the football field during the last half of the junior high game and the first half of the high school game. All proceeds support our hometown Wildcats and Refiners.
Friday fun: big kids and little kids get together to color, read stories, and make new friends.
Happy Homecoming from the Seniors! We are looking forward to a fun Homecoming weekend!
School spirit is on full display this Refiner Friday. Happy Homecoming from NTC!!
Today Lindsay Bloch and Bailey Spicher of Independence Bank stopped by the journalism classroom to present a check to Sunburst Schools in the amount of $721.50. For every transaction made using an Independence Bank Sunburst School Spirit Debit card, up to five cents goes back to Sunburst Schools. Thank you to all the Refiner fans who use the Sunburst School Spirit card!
Senior Night 2024
Tomorrow night, Saturday, September 28, at 6pm vs. North Star, our senior football players will be playing in their final home game. It is also Homecoming 2024! Please come and celebrate and cheer on Nico Postma, Wyatt Evans, and Virgil Manthey as they hopefully lead their Refiner team to victory!
Kindergarten class was busy decorating our classroom number line.
Students in grades 8 and 10 were invited to attend WOW (Worlds of Work) Day in Great Falls . Over 70 exhibitors, employers, and businesses representing trades, professional careers, and the military were on deck to answer questions about future opportunities for youth. The students were able to spend 25 minutes in four different zones interacting and learning what it might be like and what it takes to be a part of that field. I am always impressed with this event and grateful that the city of Great Falls invites us to attend!
Students and staff prove the phrase "Twinning is Winning" on this Homecoming Thursday.
Homecoming 2024!
