Important Forms & Deadlines:
We kindly ask all families to ensure the following forms are completed by September 15, 2025:
- Demographic Forms – Please log in to your MyCBE account to review and update your child’s information. This helps us keep accurate contact details in case of emergencies.
- Annual Volunteer Form – The volunteer form is available online. If you plan to volunteer at the school in any capacity, this form must be completed.

Thank you for your attention to these important updates—your support helps us start the school year smoothly and safely!
Terry Fox Assembly & Run – September 19
We are proud to continue the legacy of Terry Fox at Sunalta School. On Thursday, September 19, we will hold a school-wide assembly at 11:00am followed by the Terry Fox Run at 11:30am on the school field. Families are welcome to join us in cheering on our students!
Every year, schools across Canada participate in the Terry Fox Run to honour Terry’s dream of raising money for cancer research. The funds collected go directly to the Terry Fox Foundation, supporting cancer research initiatives that are making a real difference for patients and families across the country.
This year, we encourage students to bring a “Toonie for Terry” as a simple and meaningful way to contribute. Donations can also be made online through our school’s fundraising page: Sunalta School Terry Fox Fundraising Link
Thank you for helping us keep Terry’s legacy alive and for supporting this important cause.
Healthy Hunger Lunches
Our School Council organizes Healthy Hunger lunches as part of the ongoing fundraising efforts that support our school community. These special lunch days give families the option to order a meal for their child, so you don’t have to pack a lunch on those days.To participate, please sign up through the link below:
Attached is a ‘Healthy Hunger How To’ for those families who may not have signed up before. It gives you step by step instructions. ADD IN pdf
We are also looking for volunteers to help with distributing lunches on these days. If you are able to lend a hand, please sign up here:
