Red Cross Blood Drive

On January 25, 2023 our students and staff, along with Sunnydale Church and local community members, gave 42 units of life-saving blood. That means we have potentially impacted 126 lives. Mark your calendars for our next drive on May 4.

Chorale Gets State Recognition

 

On January 26 our Chorale traveled to the Missouri State Teachers conference where they performed 5 songs for approximately 700 teachers from around the state. The City of Centralia, as well as the Governor of Missouri, have recognized our students as they were selected as 1 of 4 schools with the honor to perform. We are grateful for the opportunity to proclaim the name of Jesus everywhere we go.

Union College Basketball Tournament

Twenty teams from all over the country, and as far away as Denmark, played in the Union College Spring Tournament this year. Our teams played in the Thunderdome division with the Guys team taking 3rd place, and our Lady Spartans claiming 1st.

Let's go Spartans!

Why are you at SAA?

Staff Version

"Being at Sunnydale as a student and now as a teacher, you develop lifelong friendships. There is a reason why people keep coming back to Sunnydale either to visit or to join the Sunnydale team. As a teacher and girls dean, I have enjoyed developing relationships with students and watching them grow as individuals. My prayer is that whatever role I have with the students here, I pray that the Lord will work through me."

-Hailey Johnson, Asst. Girls Dean & W. History

"Seeing so many talented students and the potential that each student can achieve. This is God's school, and we are blessed by the many students we can impact each school year.

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord." Psalm 150:6 (NIV)

-Joseph Choi, Music Director

Discovery Mountain Seasons Now Available as Digital Downloads

We've got something exciting to share about how you can purchase Discovery Mountain audio. We've now gone fully digital!

 

In line with current tech and rising costs, we’ve moved away from selling season CD sets and have started selling digital/MP3 downloads of all seasons in our store. This is a great option if you’re looking for a more permanent/offline way to listen to Discovery Mountain, like on road trips.

 

To learn all about the digital download format, as well as ways for kids to listen screen-free, read our Studio Scoop post here.
