🌼💀 SUNLAND STEAM ACADEMY INVITES YOU! 💀🌼
🧡 Celebrating Día de los Muertos – Day of the Dead 🧡

Dear Sunland Families,

We invite you to join us in celebrating the beautiful tradition of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)! 🌼✨

An ofrenda is a special altar created to honor and celebrate the lives and memories of our loved ones and ancestors who are no longer with us. It is a beautiful way to keep their memories alive by sharing the things that made them special to us. ❤️

🌺 Families are welcome to contribute to our ofrenda by bringing:
🌼 A flower
🍎 A favorite fruit
🥐 Pan dulce (sweet bread)
📸 A copy of a photograph of a loved one
🎁 An item that represents them or something they loved
📖 A special story or memory to share
🎶 A song dedicated to their memory

Every offering, big or small, helps us celebrate the love, traditions, and memories that connect generations. ❤️

📅 Our ofrenda will be on display through November 2.

We encourage all Sunland families to participate in this meaningful tradition and help us create a beautiful tribute to the people who have touched our lives. Together, we can teach our children the importance of remembering our loved ones and celebrating their legacies. 🕊️🌼

Thank you for helping us keep their memories alive!

With love and respect,
💙🤍 Sunland STEAM Academy – Home of the Scorpions! 🦂

Dear Sunland Families,

We are excited to share that construction for Sunland Phase II has officially begun.

In addition, the sidewalk that runs from the staff parking lot to the front office has also been fenced.

This walkway will remain open during student drop-off and dismissal times.

We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and cooperation as we begin this exciting improvement project for our school.

Thank you for helping us keep our campus safe during construction.

Sincerely,

Ms. Beechum
