My daughter has attended Sunny Sands since Kindergarten, and while we’ve had wonderful experiences with several dedicated teachers, others unfortunately seem to have lost the passion and energy needed to truly engage with young students. The condition of the playground has also been disappointing. Even before the recent renovations, the play areas were long overdue for improvement. Currently, students have very limited options. Playing on blacktop, standing under a shade structure, or using the tetherball and handball areas if equipment happens to be available.For a school located in one of the hottest cities in the country, ensuring adequate shaded areas and grassy spaces should be a priority. Instead, the focus seems to be on expanding enrollment to increase funding, resulting in fewer outdoor activity areas and larger class sizes that reduce individual attention for students.
