The Paw Print A Welcome Letter From Our Principal We’re off to a great school year for 2013-2014. I appreciate all of the community support and kind words as we finished last school year and began this one. I invite all parents and community members to come by and meet your children’s teachers and members of the staff. We had open house the evening of the first day of the school year and we all will be available during parent teacher conference the night of Sept. 12. The state of Tennessee has adopted new standards known as common core standards. These are to be the same standards for the majority of states as everyone transitions from their own standards during the next few years. Our teachers attended several days of training during the summer to become familiar with the changes. Along with these standards comes a higher level of expectations for our students performance. Teachers will be working harder than ever to give your children the best possible education and will be more involved with their students as they work. The levels of engagement are going to rise and therefore it will be more demanding for your children. I know personally from my children attending Sunbright that we have excellent educators here. And I promise that if we all work together, our students can be as successful as they want to be. Let’s all endeavor to make Sunbright School the best possible place a child would want to be.

So Missy ,Korie, and the boys try to surprise them with a wedding because they never had a really wedding before.To distract Phil and Kay, Si took them out for their anniversary on a trip to different places. Si took them to a place in the woods where they found a tree they had once carved their names in.They noticed that Si had signed the inside of the heart. Then Si took them in the woods where the ceremony was to take place and Phil and Kay noticed all the wedding decorations. As Kay was getting ready, Phil had to choose a best man. He surprised his kids by choosing Si to be his best man. Phil and Kay gave beautiful speeches about each other. Si even had a little speech to give. The wedding went great and Mrs. Kay was really happy. Everyone really enjoyed the season premier of Duck Dynasty. Everyone agreed that the two best part of the show were when Si gave his speech to Phil and Kay, and when he signed his name in the middle of Phil and Kay’s heart. By: Sadie Dial World Events Bloodshed In Egypt On August 15, in Cairo, hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters gathered at a mosque for part of a national curfew. The Brotherhood had given its forces authorization to use live ammunition to keep control of the people. Being prepared for a showdown Friday, it left more than 650 dead. Neither side will back down from the fighting, and the Egyptian government however, has looked to the United States to try to help establish order and create peace. U.S. officials fear that Egypt is heading towards a civil war. In response, the U.S. has agreed to send an armed civil group into Egypt to create a crescent of stability across the region. Newly Discovered Animal Recently, a new mammal named the Olinguito has been discovered. It has red-orange fur, a short bushy tail, and it is in the same family tree as a raccoon. the olinguito is the first mammal thats carnivorous to be found in 35 years. Its main source of food is fruit, but it also eats insects. It weighs about 2 pounds and is only about 2.5 feet long. Child Finds Diamond A 12 year old child recently found a 5.16 carat diamond. It has been estimated to be worth $12,000 - $15,000 if it was to be cut and polished. He found the diamond at Arkansas’ Crater of Diamonds State Park. He found it after only 10 minutes of seaching. He was allowed to keep it and he still has it. However, he said he would sell it if a good offer came along. Student Poems I Am Edna I am an artist who loves to draw I wonder what I’ll do today I hear nothing when I draw I see art everyday I want to be an artist someday I am an artist who loves to draw I pretend I’m inside the art I feel the drawing’s feelings I touch each line I worry I won’t get it right I cry no tears tonight I am an artist who loves to draw I understand the drawings I say they’re not just lines I dream of art day and night I try new things every night I hope to have a studio someday I am an artist who loves to draw I Am Thomas I Am Wayne I am a football player who is stuck at the line. I wonder who has the ball. I hear the crowd shouting to get the kill. I see the pigskin plummet to the ground. I want to get to the ball but I go down. I am a football player who is stuck at the line. I am a guy who likes dogs. I wonder why dogs have dew claws. I hear barking, howling at night. I see hounds chasing deer every morning. I want my two pets back from Oklahoma. I am a guy who likes dogs. I pretend nothing happened. I feel a sharp pain. I touch my injured leg. I worry if it is broken. I cry because it’s sore. I am a football player who is stuck at the line. I pretend my dog will bite my cruel brother. I feel like I’m going to lose my dog Shadow. I get spooked when my dog is barking. I worry that Shadow will get hit by a truck. I cried when my pup Stitch died in my arms. I am a guy who likes dogs. I understand we lost. I say it’s fine. I dream of the next game. I try harder for the next battle. I hope to win the next one. I am a football player who is stuck at the line. I hate some of the things people do to their pets. I say, “Hey!” when the dogs get my shoes. I dream of having a good red retriever. I try to do well in school so I can keep my best friend. I hope to go home soon so I can see my dog. I am a guy who likes dogs. by: Shelley Shannon The Sunbright football team has done a good job of starting their season on a good note. The Tigers had two preseason scrimmages against Rockwood on August 9th and Pickett County on August 16th. They won both. The boys continued their success on September 23rd at King’s Academy winning with a final score of 55 to 33. Last Friday the team added another win to the list beating Harriman 41 to 21. Although the team doesn’t have much depth, there is optimism for this fall. Quarterback, Jacob Swint, said in an interview with WVLT News, “We’ve worked all spring on getting into shape and not letting up. Even through the fourth quarter we’re just gonna keep playing as hard as we did in the first.” Coach Scott Stephens said if the team can stay healthy and avoid injuries, he feels like they can make a run at the playoffs. Even though the team went 3-7 last season, they’re confident that with twenty starters returning that they’ll have a successful season. 2013 TigerS Preston Adkins #76 Chris Blackburn #23 Chris Bohanan #61 Ruben Dial #55 Jacob Swint #10 Keith Brooks #88 Skyler Bunch #24 Savannah Miller #5 Ethan Northrup #14 Dalton Myers #52 Jordan Rutherford #22 John Martin Stephens #4 Teddy Tinch #32 Logan Brown #3 Jessy Byrge #70 Thomas Curl #65 Eli Dial #16 Noah Freels #11 Dalton Hammett #57 Frank Hammond #73 Jacob Myers #54 Braxton Swint #21 Dakota Williams #50 Trenten Brown #25 Luke Daniel #12 William Faulk #45 Joseph Morgan #62 Caleb Sargent #20 Jordan Stephens #2 2013 - 2014 Tardy Policy This year Sunbright School is working very hard to promote good attendance and positive behavior all throughout the school. Did you know that being late 10 minutes a day totals 30 hours of lost instruction for the year or leaving 30 minutes early once a week totals 18.5 hours or 3.5 days of lost instruction time for the year? The goal is to make sure that everyone is in attendance every day. If you must miss, please send an excuse the next day. Medical excuses are best, but parent notes will be accepted for 3 days of absences per semester. To help ensure that everyone has good attendance this year, a new school wide policy is in effect. If you are late 3 times in a semester you will receive one hour of AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION and it will be your parents responsibility to pick you up from school at the designated time. After two I hour detentions, other consequences will be implemented such as, losing driving privileges for five days. Remember, school starts promptly at 8:30 and dismisses at 3:30 daily. Make sure you arrive in plenty of time to take care of any errands you may have including breakfast, locker, getting books, etc. Please refrain from leaving early unless there is an emergency or you can provide a doctor’s note.
