Activities & Clubs

Gifted and Talented

The focus of our program is to provide opportunities for students to pursue and develop their potential within an enthusiastic approach towards learning that challenges inquiry, draws out individual talent, and leads to personal fulfillment and optimal academic/intellectual growth.

Reading Together

This is a research-based tutoring program that provides one-on-one reading support after school. Fourth and fifth grade students are trained to use a scripted program with second and third graders. This peer support has been found to help increase both the tutor's and tutee's reading abilities in fluency and comprehension. The groups are carefully monitored by a Sunrise teacher at all times. At the conclusion of thirty lessons, there is a celebration party.

Student Council

Students are elected to serve on the Student Council by their peers. Our student council participates in many projects designed to serve our neighborhood community and our Sunrise community. These projects include: the Denver Broncos Wives food drive, raising money through a bake sale at the annual Sunrise Health Fair to benefit the American Cancer Society, and raising money by hosting a yearly Sunrise Sock-Hop to purchase a gift for the school.

Reading Recovery Early Intervention

Reading Recovery is a highly effective short-term early intervention of one-on-one instruction for children in 1st grade who are having difficulty learning to read and write.

English Language Acquisition (ELA)

Our ELA program provides specialized instruction in listening, speaking, reading, and writing for English Language Learners. Students spend the majority of their time in the regular classroom with a portion of their day in the ELA classroom. The essential component of the ELA program is the development of academic language along with conversational language. The goal is to develop the student’s language skills to the point he/she can work successfully in the classroom.

Our students who need assistance with their literacy goals are encouraged to attend small tutoring groups that are set up before and after school throughout the year.
