Sunset Elementary School:

Sunset is a Pre-K through 4th grade campus. Every morning we meet in the gym at 8:00 for Morning Assembly where we get to greet each other and enjoy an uplifting beginning to our day. We sing the National Anthem, recite the Pledge of Allegiance to our country, our state and our school and then participate in a Moment of Silence. Before heading off to class for breakfast Mrs. Carrell and Mrs. Pingelton celebrate birthdays with us and do the announcements for the day. Everyday we get to enjoy a free breakfast in our classrooms. Parents are welcome to join their kiddos for lunch in the cafeteria. Lunches for students are $2.00 Lunches for adults are $3.25.
