Bus Driver Appreciation
Sunburst Schools honored our bus drivers by helping to "Fuel Them Up!" We are very appreciative of the dedication and effort that Mr. Tobin (Kevin bus), Mr. Lynn (Oilmont bus), Miss Adele (9 Mile bus), and Mr. Omdahl (Sweetgrass bus & transportation director) provide to get our students to and from school safely each day.
Our bus drivers received cards and a "gas can" that each student put in some candy to "fuel them up" and show them how much we appreciate them.






4th-6th Science Fair
The 4th, 5th, and 6th graders will be presenting their projects in the hallways at Sunburst Elementary on Thursday, March 2, 2023, from 1:30-3:00pm. Everyone is welcome to come and check out the awesome projects our students have completed!
