It is a food recovery program driven by students that occurs during lunch. At the end of lunch, students have the opportunity to donate their unused perishable and non-perishable factory sealed food to be redistributed internally to our Weekend Food Backpack Program and then eventually to the Embry Rucker Shelter. While any student can participate, it is managed by 6th graders, and also needs parent support!

Salad Bar is Coming to SVES!We are excited to announce that Sunrise Valley is going to the next level of providing our students and staff with a healthier lunch!
Beginning on October 24th, we will be implementing the “Real Food for Kids” Salad Bar.
Please review the October and November salad bar lunch menu describing the vegetables, fruits, protein and grains available on the salad bar, as well as the students’ hot entrée choice. All students will select their fruits and vegetables for lunch from the salad bar, and then they may complete their lunch by choosing either the salad bar protein and grains or the hot entrée listed on the menu for that day. Students will “practice” salad bar etiquette and new procedures for the lunch line before the salad bar opens. We are excited that our students will have so many fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from each day and look forward to joining many other FCPS schools that have had the opportunity to implement the salad bar successfully this school year!
Watch this short video to learn more about the FCPS Salad Bars.

Digital Citizenship Week : October 15th – 19th!This year’s focus is on Building a Culture of Shared Responsibility. Each day during the week, schools and parents/caregivers can take simple steps to get in sync and partner together to educate and support students with digital life.
You’ll find materials for home during Digital Citizenship week on the SVES website. Monday through Wednesday offers complementary activities and conversations that can begin at school and extend into the home. On Thursday and Friday, instructional staff and parents are provided the same simple strategies that can be used at home and at school to support students. A common message from trusted adults has a big impact on kids.
We hope Digital Citizenship Week will spark some educationally valuable conversations that can be promoted and supported all year long, by both parents and teaching staff.
