From Mindfulness:
Your children may have mentioned the mindfulness mints we use in class to practice being present and aware. If you're interested in learning more about mindfulness and emotional awareness, Mrs. Eriksson created a Zen Zone Mind Edu resource page with recommended tools, books, blog posts, and Instagram resources.

SVE Cares for Humane society was a HUGE success. Thank you!!
We have made so many furry friends warmer with blankets, more active with toys, filled their bellies with food and so much more. What an incredible community we are!!

Parking- 
It is a well known fact that parking around Sunset View is a challenge!  Please allow yourself plenty of time to find parking before and after school.  Do NOT attempt to enter the lower parking lot after 8:00am. Unless you are using a handicap spot or you are one of the two families that purchased the parking space or the golf cart spot at last year's auction, parking is NOT allowed in the lower lot during pick-up or drop off.    (Those who have students attending morning SAY may drop off before teachers arrive for the day.)
Please note that signage along Hill Street has changed and the majority of the space directly in front of the entrance is now marked as active loading/unloading. Please adhere to this new loading zone and do not park in this area if you intend to leave your vehicle.
