This jam-packed event will have rides, games, music, food and fun. Representatives from Sunrise schools will be on hand to answer your questions about the 2016-2017 academic year, and copies of the updated Sunrise Neighborhood Public Schools guide will be available.

The first 1,000 K-12 students at the Round-Up, to show proof of Sunrise residency, will receive a free drawstring backpack filled with school supplies, along with a grade-appropriate book.

New to the event this year will be a Preschool Literacy Fest hosted by Family Central’s Community for Quality Early Learning and Literacy (C-QuELL) initiative. Round-Up attendees with children age 3-5 are invited to participate in art happenings, story times, interactive family literacy events, and more.
