SUN COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

Much of what makes up student success happens outside the classroom. A student who is healthy and lives in a stable home is much more likely to succeed when the school bell rings.

SUN stands for Schools Uniting Neighborhoods and it is our goal to support school-aged children and families to make sure that the future is in good hands.

SUN Community Schools offer opportunities that support healthy child and youth development and family stability. At SUN Community Schools, the collective efforts of youth, parents, businesses, faith communities, libraries, and community organizations create a network of supports that ensure youth academic success and that communities thrive.

SUN Community Schools offer:

Extended day learning opportunities for students

Family engagement opportunities

Links to resources such as utility, rent, food, and mental health

Food Programs

Latino Network runs six food programs within our school sites. All programs are open to the community and eligibility requirements are not needed. Simply fill out an intake survey on your first visit! (given in multiple languages and any client can decline to respond to any questions on the survey).
