Sunset students work together to make our community and world a better place. The community project is a culminating experience in the 8th grade, which students build to through scaled-down experiences in 6th and 7th grades. As 8th graders, students choose projects that will benefit a community. They work on these projects throughout the year with an advisor, and present their work at our annual Showcase event in May. For more information about the project, objectives, rubrics, and timelines, please see the Community Project Guide below.
