Thank You for Your Support
We are excited to announce that over 30% of our Sonoran Sky families participated in Team Thunderbird this year by making voluntary contributions to the school! Thank you to everyone who contributed.
Team Thunderbird provides the funding to support creative programming and necessary supplies for the whole school.
Let us take the stress and guess work out of birthday treats and classroom celebrating by pre-purchasing one or both of these special treats! Then, on your child’s special day all you have to do is get them to school! Their name will be up in lights and the treats you chose will be delivered to their classroom for you!
