2025 SUMMER READING
Sunset Elementary
As we wrap up another wonderful school year, we want to thank all our students and families for their hard work and dedication. With summer break just around the corner, we encourage our students to continue growing as readers during the break.
To support this, we are sharing the required summer reading books for students entering 2nd through 5th grade in the upcoming school year. A book report will be due on Monday, September 1st, and students will take the Antolin test in class after the summer break.
Reading regularly over the summer is one of the best ways to ensure a strong start to the new school year. Thank you for supporting your child’s learning!

Dear GIPA Community,
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this year’s Oktoberfest a huge success! From those who volunteered their time and talents to those who came out to support the event, your participation truly made a difference.
To our amazing parent volunteers, thank you for helping with setup, decorating, and manning the booths—your dedication and teamwork were incredible. Special thanks to those who organized and coordinated behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly. And of course, thank you to all the families who came to celebrate with us and showed such wonderful community spirit.
Your efforts have helped create a memorable experience for our children and supported the important work we do at GIPA.
We are looking forward to many more fun events together!
With gratitude,
The GIPA Board
