At Sunlight, our students live by the mantra: "Success in School is the Key to Success in Life." We nurture young minds, empowering them to shine today and lead tomorrow!
We are committed to guiding every child toward success!
We support each child in their quest to succeed to the best of their ability by providing:
- Immediate enrollment in an appropriate school upon placement.
- Staff advocates with school administration to set up IEPs and tutoring if needed.
- Staff maintains communication with teachers and administrators to monitor the child's progress, makes adjustments as needed, and attends parent-teacher conferences.
- After-school study time is observed in each house for at least one hour per day.
- Staff keeps caseworkers updated with the child's progress in school via direct communication and monthly reports.
- Tutors are engaged through outside agencies.
Sunshine's Graduation Luncheon is held each May to honor students graduating from 8th and 12th grades or from a GED program. To celebrate this milestone of success in their lives, a banquet is held which includes speeches, gifts, awards, and photographs.
- Five endowments of $500 each for post-high school education are awarded each May.
- A Back to School event is held at the beginning of the school year with motivational guest speakers, entertainment, and new school supplies for every child.
