A Warm Welcome at Sunrise River Elementary! 🌞📚 Last Friday, kindergarteners experienced something truly special—a joyful welcome from the first graders and staff at Sunrise River Elementary School! 💛 As they arrived, our students were greeted with cheers, handmade signs, and plenty of smiles from the first-grade friends and teachers. The excitement was contagious and set the tone for a wonderful visit! Each kindergarten class was paired with a first-grade buddy class. Students listened to a story read by a first-grade teacher, asked thoughtful questions about what to expect next year, toured the school, enjoyed snack time, and had a blast on the playground. It was a day filled with connection, curiosity, and confidence-building—making the transition to first grade just a little less mysterious and a lot more exciting.

Today the Class of 2025 continued a NBAPS tradition of walking through all district sites. Graduates get to experience the congratulations of students for their incredible accomplishment while the graduates provide inspiration for younger students. Here are some photos from NBAMS and the Ed Center: https://www.facebook.com/nbapschools/posts/pfbid02fPPCwm6BPAB9fEMAwSc4Zjv8Wuks1WNRnpEqqyzeruiYFvzDrCPRwgyFutvPfGYRl
