If you have not visited the district website recently you should check it out right away at sd171.org. We have made a major face lift to the site. We hope that you enjoy the new site as we updated the look, proved more information, in a more organized fashion. This was just another step in continuing to help keep everyone informed of what is happening at Sunnybrook and keeping us a world class institution for learning for the Lansing and Lynwood communities.

It's that time again for summer construction to continue to beautify the buildings here at Sunnybrook. Last summer we working on the front of Nathan Hale and now it is time to work on Heritage. You can see that work is underway. We will keep everyone up to date on the construction progress via the Scoop and also on out website under the Facilities and Maintenance page. So keep an eye out and watch the progress as it is going to make a difference. We are doing work to the district and main office along with an expansion of the nurses office. All of this will help to facilitate a more efficient and safer school. We just ask everyone to be mindful when around the front of Heritage and abide by all signs and barriers to keep everyone safe.

An MVP was chosen from each school district for each day of the contest. Fifth grader, Mason Alvarez received the honor on Thursday and fourth grader, Justin Taylor received it on Friday. All of the students had an amazing time and were able to showcase their math skills. Congratulations to everyone on a job well done.
