Sunnyside Elementary School to reopen on Monday April 12

On By Sunnyside Neighborhood AssociationIn Coronavirus, Sunnyside Elementary School, UncategorizedLeave a comment

After this long break from in-person classes, many Sunnyside ES families will be happy to see their children back in school this coming Monday. However, Sunnyside neighbors should be aware that the school anticipates traffic congestion especially during the initial weeks when all, school administrators, and parents will be adjusting to a new way of dropping children off to school.

From the Sunnyside Elementary School Principal, Dr Spoering:

“Thank you for being such good neighbors and looking out for our school during this time!   Sunnyside ES is reopening for in-person learning this school year, starting April 12, 8:30 am to 1:30 pm.  Please expect some temporary disruption to traffic in the neighborhood, in the mornings and afternoons especially.   The school will do its best to mitigate any traffic congestion in the area related to school reopening.  Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.  “

SNA members who have specific concerns about how the process is going over the next week weeks can contact SNA info@sunnysideassociation.org or leave a voice mail at 415-937-1305, and we can facilitate communication with Dr Spoering and the school.

The spirit of sharing: Local food pantry on Flood Avenue

On By Sunnyside Neighborhood AssociationIn Community, CoronavirusLeave a comment

Sunnysider Perla Villa has started a small food pantry at the corner of Flood and Detroit–along with items like books for children–to help anyone in need. Perla does food rescue as her job but often has leftovers that she shares with neighbors.

Her friend Suna Mullins says: “Perla’s grandmother did a lot of volunteering with food pantries and food distribution. Perla grew up in her grandma’s house, raised her kids in it, and now it is nice to see she is carrying on the same generosity her grandmother had. I know all this because we’ve been friends and neighbors since elementary school.”
