Hello SPE Families!

 

I’m Christy Birt, and I am honored and a little terrified (in a good way!) to be serving as your PTO President this school year.  I have been a part of the SPE community for the past 5 years and will be around for a few more. While my husband, Mitch, and I send off our oldest daughter to 6th grade, our next four continue to be a part of SPE with a boy going into 4th grade, a daughter starting 2nd, and our boy/girl twins are beginning Kindergarten. We have loved Sunrise Point since the beginning, and I hope that I will have a child in one of your kids’ classes. I’m looking forward to connecting with new families as well as catching up with old ones!

Here are some important dates to mark on your calendars:

  • Popsicle Pop-In: Monday, August 11th
  • First Day of School: Wednesday, August 13th
  • Picnic at the Point: Friday, September 5th
  • Glow Dance: Thursday, October 9th
  • Trivia Night: Friday, November 7th
  • Book Fair: November 10-14
  • Carnival: Saturday, March 28th

 

SPE has such a strong foundation, not just of fundraisers and events, but of support, communication and genuine connection. If you ever have questions or are looking to get involved but don’t know where to start, please reach out to me anytime. Every parent, teacher and staff member should feel heard, supported and celebrated.  We’re all in this together and it’s my goal to continue to make Sunrise Point one of the best places to be-whether you’re a kindergartner walking through the doors for the first time or a teacher surviving on coffee and patience.

I, along with my board hope to provide fun, purpose and lots of opportunity for others to help in any way you can. We can’t make these events successful without participation and volunteering from the school community. I truly believe that when we work together, amazing things happen for our kids, our teachers and our village.

 

Anticipating a successful year!
