Sunrise Elementary presents leadership, mentorship and MTSS results to the board
Summary
Staff and students from Sunrise Elementary described a year focused on student well‑being, leadership and structured mentorships; presenters cited HOPE survey results (about 68% fall hope, 72% winter belonging), a mentorship pilot and MTSS interventions that led to fewer special education referrals.
Staff and students from Sunrise Elementary presented to the Enumclaw School District board on May 18 about the school's year‑long theme of "growing together," student leadership activities and improvements in student support practices.
Morgan Tran, advisor for the Sunrise Leadership Group, said 48 fourth‑ and fifth‑grade students participated in the leadership club and helped organize community service projects including a toy drive and a cereal box donation that benefitted a local food bank. Student speaker Happy Hellman described teamwork and community service as key leadership lessons.
Resource teacher Melissa Petrowski outlined a structured mentorship program that paired mentors with younger students for reading and playground support and said the school used MTSS and data huddles to target interventions. Presenters cited HOPE survey results (fall about 68% reporting hope and winter about 72% reporting a strong sense of belonging) and said targeted WIN‑time interventions and grade‑level walkthroughs produced measurable gains for some grade levels; kindergarten showed expected variability on timed assessments.
The board applauded the students and staff for community engagement and for the school’s recognition by the state for growth in targeted student groups. Implementation details for scaling programs were described at a high level but budget and staffing implications were not enumerated in the meeting record.
