With the month of March upon us, I have a TON to let you know is going on or coming up.
1st…. The first annual “Sunset Lake Literacy Night is gong to take place on Thursday March 21st from 6—7:30 p.m.
What is a Reading Night? It’s a fun event to encourage kids to read of course!”
At the Reading Night, you can…..

2nd… On March 6th the middle school will host “science night”
The ninth annual Vicksburg Middle School Science Night is being held on March 6th from 6-8pm. We have a wide variety of presenters coming to share their careers and hobbies that are Science related. Just a few are : Bronson Hospital, Stryker, Pfizer, Bridge Organics, Critchlow’s Alligator Sanctuary, The Kalamazoo Astronomical Society, The Kalamazoo Sheriff’s Department Forensic Science Lab, our own FFA Club, and Robotics team.
We will be holding our book fair from 6-8 as well.
To make it a night where you don’t have to cook we will be selling pizza and pop – 2 slices and a pop for $4 . All proceeds are going to our sixth grade camp fund. If you are interested in dinner please email
3rd ……...Recorder Orders.
Your kids received a flyer today from Mrs. Heintzleman regarding recorders. Any student who wishes to order a recorder, may do so for $5.00. This includes neck strap and case. $ needs to be to Mrs. Heintzleman by March 8th. Checks can be made out to Sunset Lake.
4th … March 1st begins “March is Reading Month” Students are encouraged to compete against each other to see who can read the most minutes for the month of March. The theme for this year is “book camp”…. Or a version of a military “boot camp”. See the front board in the lobby to see who has achieved what “rank” in reading.
Students who read at home each night need to have a parent sign their reading minutes to verify that they have indeed read the amount of minutes they are stating each night. If you don’t have the official time slips a piece of paper with their name, the number of minutes read, and your signature is fine.
